Foot Locker (FL): Fear of the End of an Athletic Cycle is Exaggerated - Deutsche Bank

May 22, 2017 6:39 AM

Deutsche Bank analyst, Paul Trussell, reiterated his Buy rating on shares of Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) but cut his price target to $74 from $88 as the change in tone and forward forecast from Foot Locker strikes the analyst as "a head scratcher" action that the analyst cannot defend. However, he sees 4 reasons to leave his Buy rating unchanged.

1) FL remains the go to destination for the ‘sneakerhead’
2) the hot brand Adidas has limited production to date
3) Nike’s product pipeline will improve as the year progresses
4) FL has a long track record of impressively managing expenses
