Timeframe

Short-term (0–3 months)

This is a short-term deal trade, not a long-term trend. News on Aug 27-29 confirmed every approval is done, and the buyer aims to close around Sept 12. That keeps the stock near the agreed buyout price. Price charts matter less; upbeat mood shows people expect it to close. Over the next 0-3 months, the main risk is a delay or change to the deal, so keep the position modest and use a strict exit plan.

Primary drivers

3G Capital buyout expected around Sept 12, giving a clear and near-term timeline.
All regulator sign-offs are done, lowering the chance of new surprises.
Main upside is earning the gap between today's price and the buyout price.
Biggest risk is a later closing date, which can widen the gap and hurt returns.

How it played out

SKX: target missed despite a small gain

Lyra published SKX at $63.04 on 2025-08-29 as a short-term deal trade. The thesis expected 8% growth and pointed to a 3G Capital buyout expected around Sept 12, completed regulator sign-offs, and the chance to earn the remaining gap to the agreed buyout price. The main cited risk was a later closing date.

Inside the window, SKX peaked at $63.37 on 2025-09-11, a 0.5% gain. It stayed below the $68.08 target and never reached it. By 2025-11-27, it ended at $63.13. The thesis only partially played out: the stock held near the entry price, but the expected upside did not arrive.

Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
