Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (SKX) — closed signal from July 25, 2025
Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on October 23, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 2% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 25, 2025
News of a patent lawsuit pushed Skechers stock down, even though overseas store sales jumped 17 percent and NBA player OG Anunoby just joined its endorsement lineup. The shares now change hands at only 14 times next-year profits, a lower price than many rivals. A popular momentum gauge has sunk to levels that often mark heavy selling. If the lawsuit noise settles during the busy back-to-school season, the price could rebound toward 75 dollars in about three months.
Primary drivers
- A key momentum reading shows the stock looks beaten down
- Signing NBA star OG Anunoby raises brand visibility
- Overseas sales grew 17%, proving demand is strong
- Shares at 14× next-year earnings look cheaper than rivals
How it played out
SKX: the target was not reached
Lyra published SKX at $63.13 on 2025-07-25. The thesis expected 17% growth over a short-term window. It pointed to a beaten-down momentum reading, OG Anunoby joining the endorsement lineup, overseas sales growth of 17%, and valuation at 14 times next-year profits. It also framed the patent lawsuit as noise that might settle during the back-to-school season.
Inside the window, SKX peaked at $63.37 on 2025-09-11. The peak gain was 0.4%, and the price stayed below the $73.86 target. It never got there. The window ended at $63.13 on 2025-10-23. The thesis missed.
