Caleres is upgraded from ‘sell' to ‘hold' as recent quarters showed stronger financial performance, though sustained improvement is still required. CAL's Stuart Weitzman acquisition drove revenue growth, but profitability remains pressured, with adjusted net loss partly attributable to the new brand. Management guides for low to mid single-digit sales growth and adjusted EPS of $1.35–$1.65, implying potential for significant profit rebound in 2026.
