Zooming out a little further, the scenario changes. Over the past 52 weeks, DECK has grown 1.1%, underperforming DOWI’s 16.5% gain.

Moreover, its adjusted EPS came in at $0.96, also coming in on top of Wall Street’s estimates. Deckers expects full-year earnings to be $7.30 to $7.45 per share, with revenue in the range of $5.86 billion to $5.91 billion. 

When stacked against its peer, NIKE, Inc. (NKE), DECK has outperformed. Over the past year, NKE stock has declined 31.2%.
