Telsey Advisory Group analyst Cristina Fernandez maintained Foot Locker (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FL#NYSE">FL</a>) with a Market Perform and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$24&nbsp;price target</a> on Thursday.
The earnings release disclosed total sales down 4.6% Y/Y to $1.79 billion versus the analyst estimate of negative 3.8% to $1.80 billion and FactSet at negative 2.1% to $1.83 billion due to store closures, the shutdown of several European countries, and an FX headwind of 10 bps, as per Fernandez.
The analyst noted that the pressure on the comp was due to soft traffic and was greater in the European business (which was down 10.2%), a deceleration from +1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The international comp was down 8.5%. </li>
<li>In North America, Foot Locker (-0.9%) and WSS (-4.6%) were dragged down performance and more than offset growth at Champs (+0.5%) and Kids Foot Locker (+3.4%).</li>
<li>The operating margin of -0.1% reflected a Y/Y decline of ~150 bps and was in line with the analyst&#8217;s expectation. </li>
<li>A gross margin decline of 40 bps to 28.4%, better than Fernandez at 28% and FactSet at 28.1%.</li>
</ul>
The company called out merchandise margin pressure of ~10 bps, likely on ongoing promotions, and occupancy deleverage of ~30 bps on the lower sales.
Given Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods&#8217; pending acquisition, Foot Locker did not host an earnings call or update its prior financial outlook, which consisted of EPS of $1.35-$1.65, sales growth of -1.0% to 0.5%, a comp of 1.0%- 2.5%, and an operating margin of 2.6%- 3.1%.
Fernandez noted the pending acquisition of Foot Locker by Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods as a good outcome for shareholders and does not expect significant regulatory opposition.
While Foot Locker has made progress on its LaceUp plan in areas like repositioning its store base through closures, off-mall openings, and refreshes and remodels, the analyst says there is much more work to do, with 300 refreshes and 80 remodels planned for 2025 and more in 2026.
While the company invested in technology, such as new apps, and relaunched its loyalty program, Fernandez said there is room for improvement.
While investors have been skeptical of the transaction, the analyst said Foot Locker could benefit from stronger supply chain and e-commerce capabilities and an experienced leadership team with a track record of execution under Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods&#8217; ownership.
Over time, Fernandez noted Dick&#8217;s could generate greater savings through consolidation of operational functions, closing underperforming stores, divestitures of non-core banners, and adopting some of Dick&#8217;s best practices at Foot Locker, particularly as it relates to promotions, inventory management, and e-commerce. As per the analyst, these changes could allow Foot Locker to return to the 8.9% operating margin it generated in 2019 from ~2.3% in 2024.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the last check on Friday, FL shares were trading lower by 0.74% to $23.76.

21 Analysts Assess DraftKings: What You Need To Know

In the current session, Macy's Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>) is trading at $11.90, after a 0.29% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.38%, and in the past year, by 36.71%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748631635_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Macy's P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 44.37 in the Broadline Retail industry, Macy's Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.03. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748631635_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Cantor Fitzgerald On Marvell Technology
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e21cde3430dee0001c717dd/quinn-bolton">Analyst Quinn Bolton</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while lowering the price target from $100 to $85.
Marvell Technology reported a beat and raise quarter, driven by continued growth in Data Center revenues, Bolton said.
"Management seems very confident in the company&#8217;s opportunity at AMZN, and has secured 3nm wafer and advanced packaging capacity for the next generation design set to ramp in 2026," the analyst wrote.

Benchmark On Marvell Technology
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e2ae9e3430dee0001c80e0c/cody-acree">Analyst Cody Acree</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $95.
Marvell Technology's stock came under pressure following the release of first-quarter results, as investors were "not particularly thrilled by the firm's relatively modest upside results and guidance," especially after the outperformance delivered by rival Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Acree said.
Both Marvell Technology and Nvidia witnessed demand for AI driving robust Data Center growth, the analyst stated. He added, however, that Marvell Technology did not provide "any specifics of its quarterly AI results."

Amazon.com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) cloud unit chief acknowledged the company&#8217;s aggressive expansion of server farms globally and boost of access to the latest artificial intelligence chips from&nbsp;Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Amazon Web Services (AWS) opened a cluster of data centers in Mexico in 2025, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-30/amazon-pledges-to-continue-aggressive-data-center-expansion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Friday, citing AWS CEO Matt Garman&#8216;s interview.
Garman told Bloomberg that the cloud division is also building new facilities in Chile, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.

Garman also acknowledged strong demand. He said AWS was working with Nvidia to expand its stock of the latter&#8217;s latest GB200 semiconductors, which are available for AWS customers to test.
Garman expressed appreciation for the opportunity to host OpenAI&#8217;s models on AWS. Recently, OpenAI received permission to explore other partnerships beyond Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
Wells Fargo analysts said in April that Amazon had paused some of its data center leasing talks, especially in international markets, following a similar move by Microsoft.
Microsoft abandoned data center projects in the U.S. and Europe due to an oversupply of electricity relative to current demand forecasts.
