This decision follows better-than-expected quarterly results, but mixed brand dynamics lead to caution. While Wolverine is streamlining operations and enhancing direct-to-consumer channels, Poser is skeptical about the sustainability of growth for the Saucony brand. Telsey Advisory also holds a Hold rating with a $22.00 price target."

Sam Poser has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors, including Wolverine’s better‑than‑expected quarterly results alongside guidance that merely matches broader expectations. He notes that management is streamlining operations, sharpening product assortments, and refining marketing to strengthen direct‑to‑consumer channels, which supports raising earnings estimates even as the official price target is trimmed from $18 to $17.

At the same time, Poser is not yet comfortable becoming more positive on the stock because key brand dynamics remain mixed. He believes Merrell and the work portfolio can at least deliver the modest growth management projects, but he is skeptical that Saucony can sustain its current pace as the retro‑tech sneaker trend fades, and he left the earnings call feeling he lacked sufficient clarity to justify a more bullish stance.

In another report released today, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $22.00 price target.
