FL shares surged 25% today. A closer look at what's happening:



Shares of Footlocker Inc (FL) are trading 25% higher at a price of $39.83 at the time of this writing. The stock is rapidly outshining peers on a slightly dispirited day for the Consumer Discretionary sector.

We think there are two likely catalysts:
  • A Q2 earning report that was better than expected for the embattled consumer sector. 
  • Former ULTA Mary Dillon would replace the retiring CEO.

Footlocker Inc has been trading between a 52-week high of $58.91 and a 52-week low of $23.71. The stock has a market cap of $3.76 Billion.

Foot Locker, Inc. leads the celebration of sneaker and youth culture around the globe through a portfolio of brands including Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Eastbay, Footaction, and Sidestep. With approximately 3,000 retail stores in 27 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as websites and mobile apps, the Company's purpose is to inspire and empower youth culture around the world, by fueling a shared passion for self-expression and creating unrivaled experiences at the heart of the global sneaker community.


As you can imagine, the internet had a few things to say about the price move. Here's a few choice comments from the Reddit Traderverse™:

Is it me or since prime day, Amazon prime has become dog shit. Half my orders are lost, shit never gets here on time. Just canceled my fucking membership. In FL, also all the prime trucks look like they’ve been involved in a hit-and-run
