Earnings Scheduled For March 20, 2025

Shoe Carnival Increased Quarterly Cash Dividend From $0.135 To $0.15

Insider activity is a little lower than normal for this time of year. We usually see a flurry of buying near the end of the year as insiders bulk up their holdings in anticipation of strong results over the next year. This has not happened this year.
The ratio of insider selling to insider buying is at very high levels, as insider selling has been somewhat elevated. Although we rarely take signals from individual insider sales, the buying and selling activity ratio can usually be informative. At the moment, it is at a level that has often led to technical conditions I like to call &#8220;Market Fall Down, Go Boom.&#8221; That is not surprising given the strong rally this year encouraging insiders to take some profits.
That does not mean stocks will fall tomorrow. It means that caution and common sense should be your guide as you enter 2025.
While far more insiders have been selling than buying the past few weeks, some buying comes from the C-Suite that is worth discussing. The Chairman of Shoe Carnival (Ticker: SCVL), Warren Weaver, and his wife made a huge purchase of stock this past week, adding almost $10 million worth of stock to their already large holdings. The happy couple now owns over 4 million shares, or about 15% of the footwear retailer.
The retailer has been around since 1978 and is known for its entertaining shopping experience that includes interactive games that allow shoppers to win discounts and merchandise as prizes. The chain has grown to more than 370 stores across the United States and offers most major brands of athletic and casual shoes.
The market does not love the company right now as it fell short of revenue expectations, but this appears to be an overreaction. Although the results were impacted by the hurricanes that hit the southeastern United States and the slow back-to-school season, it was still able to meet Wall Street&#8217;s profit expectations. The stock is trading at low valuations of sales and profits despite strong growth expectations over the next several years.
In addition to the buying from the Chairman, the board decided to take advantage of the weakness in the stock as well. The company recently announced a $50 million stock buyback plan.
The CEO and the Chief Technical Officer at LendingTree (Ticker: TREE) have both made six-figure open-market stock purchases this month. LendingTree is a game-changer in the world of personal finance. Founded in 1996, this online platform revolutionized the way borrowers connect with lenders. Instead of going door-to-door or settling for whatever terms your local bank offers, LendingTree puts the power back in the hands of consumers. It&#8217;s a marketplace where you can shop for everything from personal loans and mortgages to credit cards and student loans without leaving your couch.
Here&#8217;s the beauty of their model: it&#8217;s all about choice and competition. LendingTree partners with a network of banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders to make them fight for your business. That means better rates, better terms, and much less hassle. And the best part? It&#8217;s free for consumers. The company makes money by charging lenders for access to this steady stream of motivated borrowers.
LendingTree doesn&#8217;t just stop at matchmaking. They offer calculators, tools, and financial education resources to ensure you&#8217;re making smart decisions with your money. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, they&#8217;ve grown into one of the most trusted names in fintech by keeping their focus on simplicity, transparency, and, most importantly, the needs of the consumer.
The stock has pulled back well off the 52-week highs, but the people in the company appear quite confident the shares will resume their winning ways in 2025.
Both the CEO and CFO have taken advantage of the recent weakness in shares of Avadel Pharmaceuticals (Ticker: AVDL). Avadel Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative products that address unmet medical needs. The company operates primarily in central nervous system (CNS) disorders and rare diseases. Avadel is best known for its flagship product, LUMRYZ, a once-nightly sodium oxybate formulation designed to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy in adults with narcolepsy.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Avadel leverages its proprietary drug delivery technologies to enhance existing therapies. These technologies aim to improve the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and patient experience of medications, particularly in therapeutic areas where frequent dosing regimens or poor patient adherence are barriers to optimal care.
A wave of bad news including the resignation of the Chief Commercial Officer has sent the shares tumbling toward the 52-week low. The two top executives and at least one director are confident that the shares will recover from the decline and move higher.
There are some solid reasons to think they are correct. Avadel Pharmaceuticals is starting to hit its stride, and the numbers from the third quarter of 2024 tell the story. This company is laser-focused on LUMRYZ, and it&#8217;s paying off. With $50 million in net product revenue for the quarter, a massive leap from just $7 million in the same period last year, Avadel has captured the market&#8217;s attention.
There&#8217;s also been a major legal win. Jazz Pharmaceuticals tried to throw a wrench into the works, suing the FDA over its approval of LUMRYZ, but the U.S. District Court sided with Avadel. The approval stands, and the FDA&#8217;s determination that LUMRYZ is clinically superior to Jazz&#8217;s twice-nightly products remains intact. Add in Orphan Drug Exclusivity until 2031, and you&#8217;ve got a strong moat around this revenue stream.
Financially, the story keeps improving. Gross profit surged to $43.9 million from $6.9 million last year. Avadel ended the quarter with $65.8 million in cash, and while it opted not to draw on additional financing, its balance sheet still looks solid.
The growth trajectory is clear, and with Orphan Drug Exclusivity providing long-term protection, Avadel is building a business with real staying power. The CEO and CFO appear to think so and are backing their conviction with cash.

<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Insider transactions contribute to decision-making but should be supplemented by a comprehensive investment analysis.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

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

Shoe Carnival, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCVL#NASDAQ">SCVL</a>) reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 71 cents, beating the street view of 67 cents.
Quarterly sales of $306.89 million missed<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42107205/shoe-carnival-reports-third-quarter-fiscal-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the analyst consensus estimate of $316.95 million.</a>
Quarterly sales reflected the impact of the retail calendar shift that resulted in approximately $20 million of net sales moving out of the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year.
Without the impact of the retail calendar shift, net sales increased by 2.2% versus the prior year.
&#8220;Our flexible digital-first marketing campaign and great brand assortment drove demand during this peak shopping period and profitability in line with expectations for the third quarter,&#8221; said Mark Worden, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Comparable store net sales dropped 4.1% for the quarter, impacted by two hurricanes disrupting operations and warm weather delaying winter boot sales.

Gross profit margin for the quarter was 36.0%, marking the 15th consecutive quarter above 35%, but was 80 basis points lower than last year.
The company continues to expect Rogan&#8217;s acquisition to deliver net sales of over $80 million in fiscal 2024, with $22.3 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2024 and $63.9 million year-to-date in 2024.
As of November 21, the company operated 431 stores, with 361 Shoe Carnival stores, 42 Shoe Station stores and the 28 Rogan&#8217;s locations. One new Shoe Station store opened in third quarter was in Tennessee, expanding this banner into a new market.
At the end of third quarter, the company had approximately $91.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Outlook: Shoe Carnival lowered its FY24 net sales outlook to $1.20 billion &#8211; $1.23 billion (estimate: $1.23 billion), down from the previously expected $1.23 billion &#8211; $1.25 billion, but maintains adjusted EPS guidance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">$2.60 &#8211; $2.75 (estimate: $2.63).</a>

Insights into Shoe Carnival's Upcoming Earnings

WIIM

BURL

FORD

PLCE

SHOO

ULTA

Shares of apparel-related stocks are trading lower possibly amid overall market weakness. Also, the sector could be pulling back from Friday's rally after the dockworkers reached a tentative deal to suspend their strike.

Momentum investing is essentially the opposite of the tried-and-tested Wall Street adage -- &quot;buy low and sell high.&quot; Investors following this investing style typically avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. They believe instead that one could make far more money in lesser time by &quot;buying high and selling higher.&quot;
Everyone likes betting on fast-moving trending stocks, but it isn&#39;t easy to determine the right entry point. These stocks often lose momentum when their future growth potential fails to justify their swelled-up valuation. In that phase, investors find themselves invested in shares that have limited to no upside or even a downside. So, betting on a stock just by looking at the traditional momentum parameters could be risky at times.
A safer approach could be investing in bargain stocks with recent price momentum. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score&nbsp;helps identify great momentum stocks by paying close attention to trends in a stock&#39;s price or earnings, our &#39;Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain&#39; screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
There are several stocks that currently pass through the screen and Shoe Carnival (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scvl#NASDAQ">SCVL</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a great candidate.
Investors&#39; growing interest in a stock is reflected in its recent price increase. A price change of 0.5% over the past four weeks positions the stock of this footwear retailer well in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. SCVL meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 9.9% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for SCVL is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.53. This indicates that the stock moves 53% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that SCVL has a Momentum Score of B, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped SCVL earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That&#39;s because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up.
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, SCVL is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. SCVL is currently trading at 0.89 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 89 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, SCVL appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.

Inventory increased to $425.5 million, influenced by Rogan&#8217;s acquisition but expected to be lower by 5% year-over-year by the fiscal year-end.
