Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on November 24, 2025.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 6% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 26, 2025
Skechers is a well-known shoe maker whose stock dropped quickly and may rebound as interest returns. A lawsuit about taking the company private adds headline risk. The price looks calmer, and a friendlier market for shoppers could help. We prefer small, careful buys and aim for a move back to prior price areas over the next 0-3 months if buying interest improves and the legal noise fades.
Primary drivers
- Shares fell hard, but mood around the brand is turning more positive
- Well-known worldwide brand with growing direct-to-customer sales
- Lawsuit could cause swings, so keep position size on the smaller side
- If overall market for shoppers improves, the stock could recover
How it played out
SKX: target was never reached
Lyra published SKX at $62.98 on 2025-08-26 with a short-term 10% expected move. The thesis pointed to a hard share-price drop, improving mood around the brand, growing direct-to-customer sales, lawsuit risk around taking the company private, and a possible lift if the market for shoppers improved.
Inside the window, SKX peaked at $63.37 on 2025-09-11, a 0.6% gain. It stayed below the $69.28 target and never reached it. The stock ended at $63.13 on 2025-11-24. The thesis only partially played out.
