Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 4% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 21, 2025
Skechers' share price has fallen a lot, while interest from big investors is improving. Being named on a widely followed Goldman Sachs list and having a Buy rating versus Nike's Sell suggest Skechers may be gaining ground. New golf deals keep the brand visible. Over the next few months, consider buying on dips and adding if price strength returns, while staying mindful of softer demand and heavy discounting.
Primary drivers
- Named to a top holdings list at Goldman Sachs, boosting visibility
- Ratings favor Skechers over Nike, hinting at improving standing
- Shares dropped hard recently, setting up for a possible rebound
- New sports sponsorships are raising awareness of the brand
How it played out
SKX: rebound thesis stayed below target
Lyra published SKX at $62.95 on 2025-08-21, with 18% expected growth and a $74.28 target. The thesis pointed to better big-investor interest, Goldman Sachs list visibility, ratings that favored Skechers over Nike, a recent share-price drop that could allow a rebound, and new sports sponsorships that kept the brand visible.
Inside the window, the stock rose only slightly. It peaked at $63.37 on 2025-09-11, a 0.7% gain, and stayed below the $74.28 target. It ended at $63.13 on 2025-11-19. The rebound call partially played out, but the full thesis missed. It never got there.
