We're Short $BOOT, and this 2Q guidance looks terrible. Guiding store comps -1% for a company with an egregious 10% hurdle rate to leverage occupancy costs poses massive risk to this model falling apart.
$BOOT just took up its unit growth goal from 900 stores to 1,200. This is a joke. The company needs to cap units at 500. It's building a fleet of long-lived assets for a transitory fashion trend. Management at $BOOT is delusional... CEO left for good reason.
Great day to be short $BOOT and $CROX. On Boot, the CEO leaving is a massive tell. If he believed his bull narrative, then he'd get paid more by doubling the store base than he would at ROST. I get to TAIL earnings power here of about $3.50 -- the Street is double that. If I'm right, this will be a $30-$40 stock. Still plenty of downside...
Companies the stories above are also about, besides BOOT.
