Vietnam Party Leader To Lam Holds Phone Call With Donald Trump

Watching Lululemon, Deckers, VF Corp, Levi Strauss; Shares See Volume To The Upside After President Trump Says "General Secretary Of The Communist Party Of Vietnam Lam Told Me That Vietnam Wants To Cut Their Tariffs Down To Zero If They Are Able To Make An Agreement With The U.S."

Economist Peter Schiff warned on Thursday that Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) won&#8217;t shift production to the United States despite newly imposed tariffs, predicting higher prices and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44629275/nike-stock-is-tumbling-thursday-heres-why">reduced domestic sales for the footwear giant</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Nike won&#8217;t build factories in the U.S. to make sneakers. That would add more cost than the 40% tariffs,&#8221; Schiff wrote on X. &#8220;The result will be fewer sneakers sold in the U.S. at much higher prices.&#8221;
When questioned whether Nike might absorb tariff costs while building domestic factories, Schiff dismissed the idea, suggesting the company would instead redirect products: &#8220;They will eventually sell more sneakers to consumers in other countries instead, as they buy what Americans can no longer afford.&#8221;

The comments come as Nike shares plummeted 14.44% on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs affecting the company&#8217;s supply chain. Vietnam, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44629275/nike-stock-is-tumbling-thursday-heres-why">Nike produces nearly 50% of its footwear</a>, faces a 46% tariff increase.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs identified Nike among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634737/retailers-brace-for-higher-costs-as-us-tariff-rates-soar-says-goldman-sachs">several retailers with high exposure to the new tariffs</a>, which include a 34% rate for China and 32% for Indonesia, both key manufacturing locations for the company.
The broader market experienced significant turmoil following the tariff announcement, with Wall Street losing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">approximately $2 trillion in market value</a>.

Analysts warn that brands will need to adjust pricing, negotiate with vendors, and optimize costs to protect margins.

Shares of retail and apparel stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness on rising yields and trade uncertainty. Additionally, Macy's and Victoria's Secret issued weak guidance, which could weigh on sector sentiment.

VF's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.43% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 21.65 million shares sold short, which is 7.09% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.76 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<h3>VF Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740582950_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for VF has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing VF's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, VF's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.03%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around VF?

Needham analyst Tom Nikic initiated coverage on VF Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFC#NYSE">VFC</a>)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VFC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> with a price forecast of $28.</a>
Per the analyst, the company is recovering from a difficult period that saw its earnings per share drop by about 80%.
Nikic highlights that CEO Bracken Darrell is implementing a plan to improve efficiency and margins, rejuvenate the Vans brand, and reduce debt leverage.
The analyst views VF Corporation as an attractive turnaround story, projecting FY28 EPS to exceed $2.00 (compared to pro-forma FY24 EPS of $0.64 excluding Supreme).
The stock could reach $40 within 2-3 years, leaving room for growth, especially considering its peak of around $100 before the pandemic, the analyst highlights.
Although challenges remain, the analyst highlights that the company is a &#8220;compelling turnaround story.&#8221;

Nikic notes that VF Corporation previously had over $6 billion in net debt, but after selling Supreme for $1.5 billion and other non-core assets, along with better working-capital management and stabilizing fundamentals, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43302258">net debt is now around $3.3 billion.</a>
The company is expected to continue reducing debt, which will improve the profit and loss and provide more operational flexibility, the analyst adds.
Price Action: VFC shares are trading lower by 0.61% to $24.20 at last check Wednesday.
