Footlocker ( FL) has been resting from a fall and waiting LONG www.msn.com [/url ] FL is here on a 30 -minute chart. It fell badly after good earnings 3 weeks ago and has been resting in a narrow range for about half of that. A volatility squeeze released and some price action with corresponding increase in relative volume resulted. FL has about 50% upside to the price level before the last earnings. i am expecting a trade for 2-3 weeks realizing 50% profit. The news catalyst cited in the link above of an upside of 25% in an upgrade has put trader's eyes on this ticker. Mine are as well. It has reminded me to check on Nike.

Foot Locker Faces Investor Skepticism as Profit Outlook DipsFoot Locker ( NYSE:FL ) finds itself in the spotlight as shares plummet by approximately 29% following the retailer's announcement of a profit outlook below Wall Street expectations for 2024. The dramatic drop in share price reflects investor concerns over the company's planned investments aimed at bolstering demand, which are projected to weigh on profit margins in the near term. Despite a solid holiday quarter, Foot Locker's ( NYSE:FL ) decision to ramp up investments across its business has cast doubt on the timeline for achieving its long-term profit margin targets. Disappointingly, the retailer now anticipates reaching its margin goals two years later than previously expected, further dampening investor sentiment and dashing hopes of a swift recovery in profitability. Foot Locker's ( NYSE:FL ) "Lace Up" strategy, initiated in March last year, has yielded some positive results, notably in improving the digital business and driving full-price sales. However, the need to clear out excess inventory through markdowns has placed additional strain on profit margins, exacerbating the impact of planned investments on the bottom line. Chief Financial Officer Mike Baughn's announcement of another year of significant investment in 2024, coupled with the decision to forgo resuming dividends, underscores the company's commitment to long-term growth initiatives. However, the prospect of lower discounts and ongoing margin pressure in the first quarter poses challenges in managing consumer expectations and sustaining demand. Analysts, including Zachary Warring from CFRA Research, have expressed skepticism about Foot Locker's ability to deliver consistent top and bottom-line growth in the evolving retail landscape. Warring's downgrade of the stock's rating to "strong sell" highlights the prevailing concerns among investors regarding the company's strategic direction and execution capabilities. Despite these challenges, Foot Locker ( NYSE:FL ) remains optimistic about the resilience of sneaker demand, fueled by steady interest in popular brands like Nike, Adidas, and New Balance. Projections for full-year same-store sales growth above market estimates signal potential opportunities for the retailer to capitalize on consumer preferences and drive revenue growth amidst a challenging operating environment. As Foot Locker ( NYSE:FL ) navigates the complexities of the retail landscape and charts a course towards sustainable profitability, investor confidence hangs in the balance. The company's ability to effectively execute its growth strategy and adapt to changing consumer dynamics will be critical in shaping its future trajectory and regaining investor trust in the long run.

Foot Locker Shares Jump More Than 15% After Earnings BeatKey Takeaway 1. Foot Locker beat third-quarter earnings and sales expectations. 2. The shoe and apparel retailer said it expects better same-stores sales this year than it previously did. 3. Foot Locker has been hit by customers dealing with inflation and Nike’s focus on direct sales. Shares of Foot Locker rose today in premarket trading after the company posted surprise earnings and sales beats and said it saw strong results over the Thanksgiving weekend. The sneaker and sportswear retailer narrowed its full-year forecast, reflecting slightly better sales trends. It said it now expects sales to drop by 8% to 8.5% for the year, compared with a previously issued forecast of an 8% to 9% decrease. It projects a same-store sales decline of 8.5% to 9%, compared with its previous guidance of a 9% to 10% drop. Yet Foot Locker lowered the high end of its adjusted earnings guidance, dropping the range to $1.30 to $1.40 per share, down from the previous $1.30 to $1.50 per share. Here’s how Foot Locker did in the three-month period that ended Oct. 28 compared with what Wall Street was anticipating, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv: i. Earnings per share: 30 cents adjusted vs. 21 cents expected ii. Revenue: $1.99 billion vs. $1.96 billion expected In the fiscal third quarter, Foot Locker reported net income of $28 million, or 30 cents per share, compared with $96 million, or $1.01 in the year-ago period. Total revenue fell about 8.6% from $2.18 billion in the year-ago period. Foot Locker’s same-store sales fell 8% year over year, which the company said reflected “ongoing consumer softness,” a change in its mix of vendors and a 3% negative impact as it closes some Champs stores. Even so, that was slightly better than the 9.7% drop that analysts expected, according to FactSet. Digital sales fell by 5.6% year over year, Chief Commercial Officer Frank Bracken said on the company’s earnings call. Yet excluding Eastbay, a digital brand that the company wound down last year, digital sales rose 0.4%. Like many retailers, Foot Locker has gotten hurt by shoppers cutting back on discretionary spending as inflation forces them to spend more on food, housing and everyday needs and as experiences, rather than goods, become a priority. Foot Locker has also faced company-specific troubles, such as having some stores in struggling malls and leaning heavily on merchandise from Nike, a brand that’s making a bigger push to sell directly through its own stores and website. Too much inventory has also been a problem for Foot Locker, particularly as shoppers watch their spending. At the end of the third quarter, the retailer’s inventory was 10.5% higher than at the end of the year-ago period. Foot Locker said about 6% of that was strategic, as the company stocked up on merchandise to sell during the holiday season. On Wednesday, Foot Locker said it will enter a new market, India, next year. It said it has struck a long-term licensing agreement with two operators in India, Metro Brands Ltd., one of India’s largest footwear and accessories specialty retailers, and Nykaa Fashion, an e-commerce retailer. Those two companies will have exclusive rights to own and operate Foot Locker stores and sell its merchandise online in India. As of Tuesday’s close, shares of Foot Locker had tumbled by about 37% this year. That compares with the approximately 19% gains of the S&P 500 during the same period. Foot Locker’s stock closed at $23.84 on Tuesday, bringing its market value to $2.25 billion. Technical Analysist

Bitcoin's Potential for Growthhello guys... Bitcoin has recently broken through two zones, one dynamic and one static, prior to the formation of a head and shoulders pattern. The potential return to this area may act as a catalyst for an increase in the value of Bitcoin. Looking at the chart, we can see that after the formation of the head and shoulders pattern, there was a decrease in the height of the head. However, currently, the price is situated on a significant and critical level, which could potentially indicate the start of an upward trend. Based on this analysis, it is suggested that a position be set for both of the mentioned areas at a ratio of 40:60, meaning that 40% of funds should be allocated to the dynamic zone, while the remaining 60% should be reserved for the static zone. This approach can help manage risk while providing an opportunity to profit from potential upward trends. ________________________________ always do your research.

$FL: Everything lining up for a big move up$FL has a nice setup in basically every timeframe here, which suggests it could make a major move to the upside from here after next week. If it were to fall below $37 this setup would be invalidated for the most part, so watch out for that. Pays a 4% dividend, has an 11% earnings yield, and 0.42 price to sales ratio, with very low debt and actually producing EPS growth this year, it doesn't get much cheaper than this for a stock with potential upside. Definitely worth a shot here. Best of luck! Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

a small upward movement for eth and then a big drophello guys today i wanna analyze eth. Let's look at this chart together and I'll explain what's going on! As you can see in the eth chart, it is in a descending channel. which once broke its bottom line and almost touched the next level (I mean $800) 2 last drops started by stop hunt that i show this on chart so it is possible this drop ;that i think it will be last drop for this wave; will start by another stop hunt so be ready for that, on the other hand, price stand on compression and first supply on it (range: $2030-$2180) and we'll see a good reaction on this zone but in my opinion it will be just a reaction and maybe a r:r=1:2 position, although i think eth will has a great drop on FL that is fresh and a strong potential area because of FL and top of descending channel so i recommend you be waiting until price touch that FL and be ready for a confirmation on 15min timeframe for a great short position. thank you for your attention!

Lock it in, Foot Locker. FLBullish outlook for gains at 44.10, then 46.62 and 48.92. Invalidation at 36.19. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe!
