Shares of companies in the broader retail and apparel sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

CPRI

FOSL

GOOS

LEVI

VNCE

Shares of retail and apparel companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Brands that rely on the Asia-Pacific region to produce apparel goods are likely trying to find ways to mitigate the impact of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reciprocal tariff plan</a>,
The average pre-mitigation headwinds to gross margin and EPS are 670bps and 65%, respectively.
On the worse end of the EPS-impact spectrum, Needham &amp; Co.&#8217;s analyst Tom Nikic noted Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>), VF Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), and Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>). Those companies have relatively low margin structures given their recent struggles. 
As a result, these three companies have little &#8220;cushion&#8221; to absorb incremental tariffs. Nikic noted that the pre-mitigation headwinds will wipe out the companies&#8217; EPS power.

The least impacted brands in Nikic&#8217;s coverage? Ralph Lauren Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) and Foot Locker, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>). The company has a significant international presence and high-margin P&amp;L. This will likely result in just a 20-25% pre-mitigation headwind to EPS, he predicts.
Nikic also noted that Ralph Lauren has a strong recent track record of raising prices (eight straight years of rising average unit retail prices in the DTC channel). The analyst is confident that they can do so if necessary.
Nikic also highlighted Foot Locker. Suppliers import the sneakers they sell, so they have very little direct exposure. They have an indirect risk of being forced to &#8220;share in the pain&#8221; of their tariff-addled suppliers, but at least they are one step removed from the tariffs themselves.
The analyst also does not expect to see an in-sourcing of manufacturing to the U.S., as it would be highly challenging to build the manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and to find labor with enough expertise to work in U.S.-based apparel/footwear factories.

Shares of retail, apparel, and ecommerce stocks are trading lower amid recession worries due to uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policy. Additionally, consumer spending is expected to be impacted, which is weighing on the industry.

Shares of Foot Locker Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) were heading south in early trading on Thursday, after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44138694/foot-locker-posts-q4-eps-beat-helped-by-comparable-sales-growth-and-margin-expansion">downbeat fourth-quarter sales</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Telsey Advisory Group On Foot Locker
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f9ab74825a7ef0001015b59/cristina-fernandez">Analyst Cristina Fernández</a> maintained a Market Perform rating, while reducing the price target from $24 to $20.
While Foot Locker reported healthy fourth-quarter results, its 2025 guidance felt short of expectations "due to lower total sales and operating margin," Fernández said in a note. Over the past couple of years, the company has raised the sales penetration of non-Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) brands to around 40%, she added.
"Foot Locker plans $300MM in capex in 2025, including higher spending in store remodels, while some technology projects have been delayed," the analyst wrote. While modernizing stores is the right way to go, the company's progress toward the 2028 operating margin target of 8.5%-9.0% "keeps getting pushed out," she further stated.

Needham On Foot Locker
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee56ee7bf6000154d12e/tom-nikic">Analyst Tom Nikic</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $24.
Foot Locker reported fourth-quarter comparable sales growth of 2.6%, in-line with the guidance range, while earnings of 86 cents per share came in above the guidance, Nikic said. "FL saw strength across a wide range of brands in Q4," he added.
Management guided earnings of 1.35-$1.65 per share for fiscal 2025, slightly below the consensus of $1.72 per share, the analyst stated. "Although sales in December/January were strong (both +MSD), management noted that QTD trends have been softer, with increasing macroeconomic uncertainty weighing on consumers&#8217; shopping patterns," he further wrote.
FL Price Action: Shares of Foot Locker were down 3.18% to $17.68 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Wall Street digested mixed economic data after the ISM Services PMI<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44143666/us-services-sector-unexpectedly-expands-in-february-despite-slowing-job-growth"> price index indicated</a> strong growth in the services sector, but the ADP employment report came in well below forecasts and added the fewest jobs in seven months.

The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note was at 4.23% on Wednesday, trimming declines from the morning after expansion in the services sector, reflected by the ISM PMI easing concerns on lower growth. However, yields remained near four-month lows touched earlier in the week.  The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 0.24%.
