Investopedia: Expectations Gnaw At Wolverine

Would the real footwear market please stand up? Athletic shoe companies like Nike (NYSE:NKE) and Adidas (OTCBB:ADDYY) have been quite strong, and so has fashion-oriented Steven Madden (Nasdaq:SHOO). And then there are the likes of Collective Brands (NYSE:PSS), Brown Shoe (NYSE:BWS) and Skechers (NYSE:SKX) with weak sales and even weaker stocks.

Wolverine (NYSE:WWW) is on the stronger end of the range, even if the Street was not falling over itself to reward the company for solid second quarter results. Then again, if conservatism is the biggest sin of Wolverine, long-term shareholders should not be bothered by the quarterly noise.
