Shares of footwear-related stocks are trading higher amid sympathy with Nike after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 financial results.

'Skechers Prices Over $6 Billion of Debt in Rare Buyout Financing'- Bloomberg

Even as May&#8217;s inflation print was better-than-expected, it snapped a four-month falling streak and rose slightly, hinting that firms absorbed some tariff-induced price hikes.
What Happened: &#8220;Surprisingly, new and used vehicle prices declined in May, despite many expecting an increase in prices from tariffs,&#8221; said the chief economist at LPL Financial, Jeffrey Roach.
According to him, prices for apparel and autos, &#8220;both highly sensitive to trade conditions, declined in May.&#8221; Apparel prices also declined in April, indicating that these companies likely &#8220;absorbed tariff costs.&#8221;
&#8220;But don't expect that to continue,&#8221; he added.
Comerica Wealth Management&#8217;s CIO, Eric Teal, reiterated Roach&#8217;s point and explained that tariffs have not yet shown up in consumer prices. &#8220;But a lot depends on the absorption rate of U.S. companies and foreign suppliers.&#8221;
Teal believed that the majority of the tariffs would eventually get passed to the consumer, &#8220;but companies are cautious at this juncture about passing along the price increase.&#8221;
Similarly, the chief economist at Comerica Bank, Bill Adams, said, &#8220;CPI cool in May, but price increases are still likely to accelerate in the second half of the year.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s how automotive and apparel companies have performed in 2025 under the tariff pressures and fear of price increases.

Why It Matters: Contrary to the aforementioned views, the CIO at Northlight Asset Management, Chris Zaccarelli, believed that lower-than-expected numbers across the board and a trade deal with China that was agreed to in London would help &#8220;the narrative around tariff-induced inflation should subside.&#8221;
However, &#8220;we are still cautious, but many of the risks that were present in early April appear to be receding at this time,&#8221; Zaccarelli added.
On the other hand, Jamie Cox also believed that the disinflation trend should be intact in the coming months. &#8220;Shelter and energy are going to keep the disinflation trend intact &#8211; prices are moving down in two of the largest categories, so investors should expect further declines in inflation in the coming months,&#8221; he said.

Automotive And Apparel Companies 'Absorbed Tariff Costs' Amid Better Than Expected May CPI Print: 'But Don't Expect That To Continue,' Says Expert

&#8220;Shelves will be empty,&#8221; was the blunt warning delivered by the CEOs of Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), and Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) to U.S. President Donald Trump during a private Oval Office meeting in early April.
In response to mounting pressure from retailers and economic indicators, the U.S. and China reached an agreement on May 12, to reduce tariffs for a 90-day period. Under this deal, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will decrease from 145% to 30%, while China&#8217;s tariffs on American imports will drop from 125% to 10%.&nbsp;

This temporary reprieve aims to alleviate immediate economic strains and provides a window for further negotiations toward a comprehensive trade agreement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Tension Shakes Retailers And Rattles Wall Street</h2>
Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariff announcement on April 2, dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; slapped a 145% duty on Chinese goods to revive domestic manufacturing.&nbsp;
However, the move triggered an immediate backlash from the retail and financial markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,600 points that day, one of the worst market drops since 2020.
Speaking privately at a JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) event later that week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, &#8220;Neither side thinks the status quo is sustainable,&#8221; referring to the escalating trade war with China according to a transcript obtained by the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/66668fa26957ece530a250fa8ea19faa">Associated Press,</a> which also quoted him calling the China talks &#8220;a slog.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.
Inside the Oval Office, the tone was even more urgent. According to sources cited by<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart-target-trump-tariff-supply-chains/"> CBS News</a>, the CEOs – Walmart's Doug McMillont, Target's Brian Cornell, and Ted Decker of Home Depot – emphasized that while prices were stable for now, that wouldn&#8217;t last.
&#8220;The big box CEOs flat out told him [Trump] the prices aren&#8217;t going up; they&#8217;re steady right now, but they will go up. And this wasn&#8217;t about food. But he was told that the shelves will be empty,&#8221; one administration official told<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/23/trump-economy-tariffs-china-powell"> Axios</a>.&nbsp;
The outlet also reported that, according to another official briefed on the meeting, the executives said supply disruptions could become visible within two weeks if the tariffs remained in place.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the broader U.S. economy was feeling the pressure. China&#8217;s factory activity contracted significantly in April, with the country&#8217;s official Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index falling to 49.0. This signaled a slowdown in global manufacturing as U.S. orders declined, according to the <a href="https://www.stats.gov.cn/english/PressRelease/202505/t20250507_1959690.html">official survey</a> by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, published on May 7 .
On the home front, the U.S. economy shrank by 0.3% in the first quarter—the first contraction in three years.
Amid this uncertainty, Trump made headlines again when he said he had &#8220;no intention&#8221; of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, easing concerns over central bank independence. The reassurance helped markets rebound temporarily.

Companies were also reacting to prolonged trade tensions. In 2024, Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>)<a href="https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/665/skechers-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-3g-capital"> </a>&nbsp;reported $1,218.2 million in <a href="https://investors.skechers.com/financial-data/all-sec-filings/content/0000950170-25-015399/skx-ex99_1.htm">sales from China</a>—13.6% of its $8,969.4 million global revenue. The company, heavily reliant on <a href="https://investors.skechers.com/financial-data/all-sec-filings/content/0001193125-14-077061/d647920d10k.htm">Chinese imports</a>, faced rising U.S. tariffs that drove up costs and disrupted operations.&nbsp;
Skechers, alongside 75 other footwear companies including Nike and Adidas America, <a href="https://fdra.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/April-29-Footwear-POTUS-Letter.pdf">signed a letter</a> dated 29 April from the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America urging President Trump to exempt shoes from reciprocal tariffs. Skechers also withdrew its full-year outlook via an April 24 <a href="https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/663/skechers-announces-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and">press release</a>.&nbsp;
Soon after, it <a href="https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/665/skechers-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-3g-capital">announced </a>a $63-per-share cash acquisition by 3G Capital—a 30% premium—citing global brand momentum.
In response to the escalating pressure, Trump unveiled a 90-day tariff pause on April 9 for most U.S. trade partners—excluding China. This shift helped the S&amp;P 500 post its biggest one-day gain since 2008.
Still, market analysts urge caution. Sevens Report Research President Tom Essaye told<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-the-stock-rally-may-be-in-trouble-after-the-white-house-backtracked-on-tariffs-147a4ca0"> MarketWatch</a> on May 5 that tariff reprieve may be temporary and that higher trade barriers will continue to weigh on economic growth.

Walmart, Target, Home Depot CEOs Tell Trump Prices Will Rise — 'Shelves Will Be Empty' If Tariffs Persist

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Skechers will be acquired by 3G Capital, it announced Monday</li>
<li>The investment firm purchased the footwear giant for $9.5 billion in a deal that will take it private</li>
<li>The acquisition comes at a time when tariffs have companies in the footwear industry nervous about the future</li>

Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>) <a href="https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/665/skechers-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-3g-capital">announced Monday</a> that it will be acquired by global investment firm 3G Capita for $9.5 billionl.
The third-largest shoe company in the world, Skechers was founded in 1992 by father-son duo Robert and Michael Greenberg. The company is still founder-run, and the Greenbergs will retain their respective positions as CEO and president after the take-private deal closes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
3G Capital has previously acquired Burger King and Tim Hortons and is responsible for the Kraft-Heinz merger.

</ul>
According to Skechers, 3G will buy out each of the company's 18 million public shares in one of two ways. Either it will pay $63 in cash for each share, or it will pay $57 per share with the addition of a single share in the new LLC that will become Skecher's parent company.
"Over the last three decades, Skechers has experienced tremendous growth," Robert Greenberg said. "Given [3G Capital's] remarkable history of facilitating the success of some of the most iconic global consumer businesses, we believe this partnership will support our talented team as they execute their expertise to meet the needs of our consumers and customers while enabling the Company's long-term growth."
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.

Some 62% of those sales take place outside the U.S., in one of the 180 countries the company has a presence in, according to a recent <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_e894474d4a7decf3b34cdfdb91ca3804/skx/db/433/3612/pdf/Skechers+2025+Investor+Presentation+%28Growth%29+vFinal.pdf">investor presentation</a>.&nbsp;
The deal with 3G Capital comes at a time when uncertainties about international sales and imports are increasing. Skechers, in particular, could feel the crunch of those tariffs since its&nbsp; manufacturing operations are primarily overseas in places like China and India. Tariffs on products made in China currently sit at 145% and at 26% on products made in India.
But the potential financial shift doesn't seem to have shaken 3G Capital's feelings on the deal. "We have immense admiration for the business that this team has built, and look forward to supporting the Company's next chapter," Alex Behring and Daniel Schwartz, co-managing partners of the firm, said in the announcement.&nbsp;

U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday after snapping a nine-day winning streak on the S&amp;P 500 index. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
After a remarkable 20-year high winning streak, the S&amp;P 500 saw stocks decline on Monday. This reversal was triggered by two key statements from President Donald Trump: his proposal for a 100% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45201601/trump-wants-movies-made-in-america-again-heres-what-tariffs-on-films-could-mean-for-disney-netflix-stock">foreign-made films</a> and his announcement that he would not be discussing trade with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. 
Investors are keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision on interest rates, which is slated to be announced on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.36% and the two-year bond was at 3.81%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
WisdomTree senior economist Jeremy Siegel highlights the positive impact of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213790/us-dollar-depreciation-is-cushioning-the-impact-of-tariffs-on-corporate-profits-says-expert-heres-how">U.S. dollar&#8217;s decline</a> on multinational earnings this year.
In his weekly commentary, he points out that roughly half of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s revenue is generated internationally, a factor he believes can mitigate the adverse effects of tariffs on corporate profits.
As Siegel states, "With 40-45% of S&amp;P 500 revenues sourced abroad, that currency translation effect alone could cushion the impact of tariffs on corporate profits."
He further suggests that, "This, alongside hopes of deal-making and eventual tariff de-escalation, is underpinning the market&#8217;s recovery."
Moreover, Siegel remains optimistic about stocks, explaining that markets often overreact to recessions.
He argues, "While earnings may drop if the economy turns south, the long-horizon value of equities should not fall 20–25%, as often happens. If investors finally look beyond the valley into the mountain, the downside could be limited even in a mild recession."
As the Federal Reserve is projected to keep the interest rates steady after the Wednesday&#8217;s meeting, Cooper Howard, director, fixed income strategy at the Schwab Center for Financial Research said, &#8220;The market&#8217;s pricing in between three and four cuts prior to the year-end, but that's aggressive unless the labor market shows further signs of slowing.&#8221;

Napco Security Technologies Posts Better-Than-Expected Results, Joins Skechers, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

Leading American footwear companies, Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>), Skechers USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and others have approached President Donald Trump, seeking an exemption from tariffs, citing the risk of a potential industry collapse.
What Happened: The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America trade association dispatched a letter dated April 29 to the White House, pleading for relief from Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariffs. The letter, endorsed by 76 footwear companies, expressed that the tariffs present an &#8220;existential threat&#8221; to the industry, as per a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/nike-adidas-footwear-giants-ask-trump-for-tariff-exemption.html">CNBC report</a> on Friday.
The letter emphasized that businesses manufacturing affordable footwear for lower and middle-income families are incapable of absorbing high tariff rates or transferring&nbsp;these costs. Without swift support, many companies could be forced to shut down.
Trump&#8217;s tariffs, announced on April 2, imposed duties on several key countries for footwear sourcing, such as China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The tariffs are scheduled to restart in early July.
The footwear association cautioned that the tariffs would not fulfill Trump&#8217;s promise of returning manufacturing to the U.S., as they eliminate the stability businesses need for investment in sourcing changes.
"This is an emergency that requires immediate action and attention,&#8221; stated the Association. &#8220;The American footwear industry does not have months to adjust business models and supply chains while absorbing this unprecedented and unforeseen tariff regime,&#8221; it added.

Why It Matters: Earlier in April,&nbsp;Nike&#8217;s shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44741043/nike-stock-tumbles-as-us-china-trade-war-intensifies-what-you-need-to-know">plummeted&nbsp;</a>by about 25% as the escalating trade war between the United States and China threatened the company&#8217;s supply chain. Nike imports a majority of its products from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
In April, Economist Peter Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44640220/peter-schiff-says-nike-wont-build-factories-in-us-they-will-sell-to-countries-like-china-a-much-better-strategy-amid-trump-tariffs">cautioned </a>that Nike Inc. is unlikely to move its production to the U.S. despite new tariffs, forecasting increased prices and a decline in domestic sales for the footwear company.
Schiff wrote on X, "Nike won't build factories in the U.S. to make sneakers. That would add more cost than the 40% tariffs&#8230;The result will be fewer sneakers sold in the U.S. at much higher prices."
Additionally, Skechers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44996051/skechers-stock-falls-on-q1-revenue-miss-details">reported a revenue</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44996051/skechers-stock-falls-on-q1-revenue-miss-details">miss</a> in the first quarter, further indicating the strain on the footwear industry. The tariffs, if not lifted, could exacerbate these challenges for the industry. Even Adidas cautioned that tariffs would result in increased costs for American consumers.
Nike stock has climbed 5.36% over the past month, while that of Adidas surged 14.81% during the same period.

Footwear Titans Nike, Adidas Call Tariffs An 'Existential Threat', Appeal To Trump For Relief: 'This Is An Emergency'

Footwear giant Skechers U.S.A. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>) stock is soaring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Monday</a>. The company agreed to go private following its acquisition by global investment firm 3G Capital.
The agreement offers <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45192792/skechers-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-3g-capital" rel="noreferrer noopener">shareholders $63.00 per share in cash</a>, a 30% premium over Skechers' recent trading average or a blended option of cash and equity units in the post-transaction entity.
This amounts to a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44994833/skechers-announces-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-record-quarterly-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener"> deal value of $9.54 billion</a> calculated using 151.49 billion weighted-average shares used in calculating net earnings per share.
3G Capital and Skechers' management see the deal as a long-term growth opportunity for the California-based footwear leader.

Robert Greenberg will remain chairman and CEO, joined by Michael Greenberg as president and David Weinberg as COO. The leadership team will continue to drive Skechers' strategy. The company will keep its headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California.
Under the deal's terms, investors may choose the all-cash option or a mixed package of $57.00 per share and a non-tradable equity unit in the new private company.
The mixed consideration is limited to 20% of total shares, and selections exceeding this cap will be adjusted proportionally. Shareholders who do not make a selection will receive the full-cash option by default.
The transaction has already secured consent from stakeholders holding around 60% of Skechers' voting power, meaning no further shareholder vote is necessary.
The board of directors guided by an independent committee unanimously approved the agreement. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, pending regulatory review and customary closing conditions.
In FY24, Skechers <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.skechers.com/press-releases/detail/649/skechers-announces-2024-record-annual-sales-of-8-97-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">recorded a 12.1% increase</a> in revenue to $8.97 billion, with a 13.2% growth in Wholesale sales and a 10.7% increase in Direct-to-Consumer sales.
The buyout will be financed through a combination of capital from 3G and debt underwritten by JPMorgan Chase Bank. Upon finalization, Skechers' shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
Price Action: SKX shares traded higher by 25.1% at $61.75 at last check Monday.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.
