Duuude, this is some great writing (the whole thing), and worth bolding the last bit. hahaha, outstanding!M4 Benelli said:
Im about to sell the farm so I can move from the outhouse to the penthouse on the back of this beautiful footwear. This is beaten down value + growth that is hovering at a P/E of 7. Beginning of the tide occurred with the Hey Dude acquisition which investors found to be unsavory in terms of valuation. Yea Hey Dude isnt too well known to the Walter Crocites of the world, but they are a name to every outdoor enthusiast who ventures Into a Bass Pro. What do Hey Dude & Crocs have in common? Theyre both comfy af. CROX is trying to monopolize the comfy anti-bunion market.
CROX is guiding $6B revenue in 2026. That is a 20% Compound Annual Growth Rate, which is a ton. The FCF yield is double digit, BIGLY. The right hook to the these two Dustin Poirier jabs is that its trading at 9x forward earnings. This is some balls out financials if one were to remove the image of their shoes, while scoffing at them for being anomalously en vogue. Just look at the financials. 20% CAGR and market is paying 9x earnings? Market easily pays 30x for that kind of CAGR on different tickers.
Now if one were to bearishly assume forthcoming snailed growth, no margin improvements at all, nill share buybacks, the stock is worth atleast double than current price.
If Putin, The MSMorons, and OPex monthly shenanigans want to pass this gift down like MANA from heaven, so it shall be. I'll be rocking some Salehe Bembury Crocs with all the tendies that are about to hit my port, with fingers towards the sky.
