- Friday, May 3, 2:49 PM Athletic shoes in focus: Analysts think the strong quarter in North America by Adidas (PMMAF.PK) confirms that demand for athletic shoes is outpacing other retail categories. Nike (NKE +2%), Foot Locker (FL +0.9%), and Finish Line (FINL +3.1%) could surprise to the upside as new lines sell well and a shift in the product mix toward higher-margin basketball shoes helps boosts results - while don't count out Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS +2%) and Under Armour (UA +0.9%) to also catch some of the action. Comment! [Consumer]

[On the Move] - Friday, January 4, 10:29 AM Heard on Finish Line's (FINL -3.9%) FQ3 earnings call: 1) Lower results partially due to a slowdown in demand for running shoes which wasn't offset by basketball shoe sales. 2) The firm's new website cost it close to $3M in FQ3 due to customers' aversion to the layout and style. A reworked digital strategy will be upcoming. 3) A partnership with Macy's looks set to be a bright spot with website shops forecast to add $0.30-$0.35 to EPS after its implemented. 4) On innovation, a cautious approach to running brands is on tap with consumers shifting fashion tastes to basketball shoes.
