10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

A wave of concern is sweeping through the athletic footwear industry as Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed import tariffs threaten to significantly impact sneaker manufacturers and retailers. The potential policies could especially affect companies heavily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41795320/trumps-20-tariff-plans-could-unleash-wave-of-spending-on-big-ticket-buys-in-holiday-quarter-says-eco">dependent on Asian manufacturing hubs</a>.
What Happened: Industry leaders are bracing for impact after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41774549/trumps-big-tech-policies-what-gop-victory-means-for-apple-google-microsoft">Trump proposed a 20% blanket tariff</a> on all imports and a steep 60% levy specifically on Chinese goods. The footwear sector, which already faces substantial import duties, could see production costs surge further.
Wall Street reflected these concerns as major athletic wear stocks declined. Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) fell 3.41%, while Adidas (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>) dropped 3.62%. Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>) saw a 1.35% decrease, and VF Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>), owner of Vans, declined 2.67%.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a huge headwind for the entire industry,&#8221; Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/starbucks-ceo-no-plans-to-move-hq-out-of-seattle-as-the-company-attempts-a-turnaround-214425009.html">told</a> Yahoo Finance, noting that footwear companies currently navigate a 20% tariff on Chinese imports and approximately 27% on Vietnamese goods.
Benzinga contacted several impacted companies but did not receive an immediate response.

Why It Matters: The industry&#8217;s vulnerability stems from its heavy reliance on Asian manufacturing hubs, including China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Additional levies could force companies to either absorb higher costs or pass them on to consumers.
Trump&#8217;s proposed policies follow his election victory over Democrat Kamala Harris, where he secured 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote, according to Associated Press figures.
Some companies showed resilience amid the market uncertainty. Puma (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PMMAF#OTC">PMMAF</a>) gained 2.10%, while Deckers Outdoor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>), the parent company of Hoka One One, edged up 0.67%.

Guidance

VF Medium-Term Financial Targets Adj. Operating Margin Of At Least 10%; Adjusted Gross Margin Of At Least 55%

V.F. Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Tuesday.</a>
The parent company of Vans and The North Face reported second-quarter revenue of $2.8 billion, beating the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a> of $2.7 billion, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported second-quarter earnings of 60 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 37 cents per share.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel reiterated the Market Perform rating,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VFC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with a price forecast of $14.</a>
The analyst acknowledged the initial signs of progress and anticipated continued strength from the gross margins but expressed a preference to stay on the sidelines, considering that this is already reflected in the current share prices.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, VFC stock has gained over 22% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSCD#NASDAQ">PSCD</a>).

Momentum in Greater China persisted, though ongoing challenges in the Americas countered it. Siegel added that the North Face (TNF) is expected to experience significantly easier comparisons across regions. The analyst raised FY25 adjusted EPS estimates to $0.39 from $0.35.
Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach maintained a Neutral rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $20.
The analyst expressed optimism about the quarter, citing improved profitability and a sequential rebound in sales momentum. Roach noted that gross margins outperformed expectations due to effective product costing and full-price sales, with inventories decreasing by 13% year over year.
However, the guidance for third-quarter operating profit is below consensus, projected at $175-200 million compared to FactSet&#8217;s expectation of $256 million.
Additionally, the lack of clear visibility into sustained profitable growth for key brands limits the potential for valuation expansion until a clear path to profit improvement is established, Roach writes.
The company will conduct its investor day tomorrow, Wednesday, October 30th.
Price Action: VFC shares are trading higher by 22% to $20.78 at last check Tuesday.
