Designer Brands Is Not Attractive After Q4, Pre- Or Post-Rally
Designer Brands Inc. posted positive comparable sales for the first time in over two years, driven by a stronger athletic assortment but at the cost of margin recovery. Despite moderate business improvement expected for fiscal 2025, DBI's high leverage, razor-thin margins, and questionable capital allocation make its current valuation unjustified. DBI's balance sheet remains highly leveraged with $500 million in debt and $50 million in annual interest expense, raising concerns about financial stability.
