What this transaction means for investors
Blueshift Asset Management may have soured on Crocs too soon. The footwear company beat earnings and revenue expectations in Q4, sending the stock up nearly 20% on Feb. 12. Management also said it expects 2026 earnings to come in well above analyst estimates.
The company ended 2025 on a strong note with solid holiday sales. While its HEYDUDE brand is still struggling, Crocs made some shareholder-friendly moves last year. It retired $128 million in debt and also used cash flow to repurchase 10% of the outstanding shares.
It looks like momentum remains strong in 2026, too. Its anticipated adjusted earnings per share, ranging from $12.88 to $13.55, significantly exceed the analysts' forecast of $11.89 per share.
Blueshift didn’t totally give up on the name, as it still holds over 14,500 shares. The subsequent spike in the stock price provides a good example of why investors should consider buying or selling in thirds. It provides some relief should an unanticipated event sharply move the stock price after the fact.
