<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Deckers Outdoor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.33%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market Session

Shares of Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43388384/walgreens-deckers-outdoor-beazer-homes-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-fridays-pre-market-session">are getting decked</a> in Friday's trading session, with shares down over 18%. This is despite posting what appears to be an excellent earnings release.
If the shares continue to decline, there is a good chance they will find support around $182.25. This level has been important. It is why DECK is our Stock of the Day.
Decker's reported 3Q sales of $1.83 billion. Analysts were looking for $1.73 billion.
Earnings were also well ahead of estimates. They came in at $3 per share. The Street was looking for $2.56.
The company also forecast full-year earnings to be $5.75 to $5.80. This is well ahead of the prior outlook of $5.15 to $5.25.
So why are the shares down?
One reason could be possible concerns over the company's inventory buildup. It grew from $474,311,000 to $576,669,000. This is an increase of more than 20%.
Inventory increases can be a troubling sign for a retailer. Things that don't sell can end up in inventory. A company may have to eventually reduce the sale prices or take a writedown. This could be a bearish signal for the long term.

Regardless, if DECK drops to levels around $182.25, there is a chance the sell-off ends. A reversal and rally may even follow.
You can see on the chart that this price was resistance last June. Sometimes levels that had been resistance can turn into support and that could be the case here.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="554" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31144221/deck-1024x554.png" alt="" class="wp-image-760836" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31144221/deck-1024x554.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31144221/deck-300x162.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31144221/deck-768x416.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/31144221/deck.png 1521w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Many of the traders and investors who sold in June were happy they did so when the price dropped. But in November, the resistance was broken, and DECK moved higher.
When this happened, some of the previously happy sellers came to think their decision to sell had been a mistake. Many of these regretful sellers decide that they will repurchase their shares. But they will only do so if they can reacquire them for the same price they were sold.
As a result, if DECK gets to around $182.00 there will be remorseful sellers placing buy orders. If there are enough of them, the level that has been at a peak or resistance will convert into support.
This could put a floor under DECK. It could also be the first step of a new uptrend.

Stock Of The Day: Deckers Outdoor Tests Critical Level — Bounce Or Breakdown?

Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower today.</a>
Yesterday, Deckers Outdoor reported quarterly earnings of&nbsp;$3&nbsp;per share which beat the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43356259/deckers-outdoor-shares-clobbered-despite-strong-q3-results-led-by-ugg-hoka-brands" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$2.55.</a> Quarterly revenue came in at $1.83 billion,&nbsp;which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$1.73 billion&nbsp;and is an&nbsp;increase over sales of&nbsp;$1.56 billion&nbsp;from the same period last year.
&nbsp;Deckers Outdoor sees fiscal 2025 revenue growth of 15% and fiscal 2025 earnings of between $5.75 and $5.80 per share.
Here are the analysts&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DECK/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">take on the quarterly performance:</a>
<ul>
<li>Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Outperform rating in the stock, with a price forecast of $240.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst Anna Andreeva reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $210.</li>
<li>Truist Securities analyst Joseph Civello maintained the Buy rating on the stock, lowering the price forecast to $225 from $235.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Tom Nikic reiterated the Buy rating on Deckers, with a price forecast of $246.</li>
<li>Stifel analyst Jim Duffy maintained the Hold rating on the stock, raising the price forecast to $185 from $181.</li>
<li>Guggenheim analyst Robert Drbul reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock.</li>
</ul>
Telsey Advisory Group: The analyst writes that the company continues to deliver strong results in an uncertain macro operating environment, while managing the business for longterm health through prudent pull-model inventory distribution.
Following the divestiture of the Sanuk brand in mid-2024, the analyst views Deckers&#8217; plans to phase out Koolburra as a prudent move to refocus resources and investments on its core business and growth brands.
The analyst now looks for FY25 EPS of $5.90, up from $5.66 prior and compared to $4.86 last year.
Piper Sandler : The analyst suggests that the company&#8217;s fourth quarter sales guidance indicates a slowdown, with a lower gross margin due to higher markdowns on UGG products.
Despite less inventory, the firm expects increased markdowns, which had been beneficial in the previous two quarters. The analyst projects sales to grow by 17% in FY25 and 13% in FY26. EBIT margins are projected at 22.5% for FY25 and 21.7% for FY26.

Truist Securities: Per Civello, the quarterly slowdown is mainly due to inventory management, UGG shortages, tough comparisons, and a conservative outlook. The analyst remains positive on the company&#8217;s growth and sees the current weakness as a buying opportunity.
The analyst has increased their EPS forecasts for FY25 and FY26 to $5.90 and $6.85, respectively, up from $5.70 and $6.75.
Needham: According to Nikic, Deckers is one of the highest-quality companies in the coverage, with a multi-year track record of performance, two of the strongest brands in the industry (Hoka and UGG), a stellar management team and a fortress balance sheet.
The analyst writes that fiscal 2H25 is highly conservative, presenting a compelling beat-and-raise setup into the next few quarters.
Stifel: Per Duffy, the company is likely to exceed expectations for the fourth quarter, but the consensus HOKA growth projections for FY26 and beyond may be too optimistic.
While impressed with the company&#8217;s execution and long-term strategies, the analyst is comfortable with below-consensus FY26 estimates given the slowing HOKA growth.
Guggenheim: For FY25, the analyst raised gross margin estimate to 57.2% (from 55.5%), reflecting brand and product mix benefits (higher full-price selling), offset by a more normalized promotional environment and higher freight costs related to the inventory brought in.
Price Action: DECK shares are trading lower by 18.8% to $181.12 at last check Friday.

The Magnificent Seven — as tracked by the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) – soared 1.6% on Friday, effectively erasing weekly losses after plunging as much as 3.1% on Monday due to the DeepSeek selloff.
Yet, within the elite group, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) remains 12% lower than last Friday's close, with Friday&#8217;s gains primarily driven by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)
The Dow Jones, flat on the day, attempted to break its all-time highs at the open but faced resistance from sellers. Sector-wise, tech leads the charge, while energy lags following mixed earnings results from oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>).
Gold climbed above $2,800 per ounce, extending new records as demand for the ultimate safe-haven asset surges amid rising geopolitical and trade risks. This comes after President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday his plan to introduce 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting Feb. 1.
WTI crude oil prices were down 0.3% at $72.3 per barrel, potentially marking their second consecutive weekly decline.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) paused for a breather, holding steady at $104,800.
