Why now
Footwear & Accessories · market cap $6.6b. Trading near 52-week high of $140.78 — momentum setup, limited technical margin of safety. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $135.75 (implying -1% upside).
Moat
Net margin 15% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 43% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 119% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Trading within 2% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Beta 1.53 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return.
Horizon
1-3 yr $135.75 (12-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $171.38 at ~5% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $219.79 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Crocs, Inc. (CROX): score, valuation & FAQ

Crocs, Inc. (CROX) is a Footwear & Accessories company that scores 62.7 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A-), while Rev (D+) rate weaker. On valuation, CROX sits about 18% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 0% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is CROX a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CROX 62.7 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Crocs, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does CROX score 62.7 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CROX earns its highest marks on P/E (A-), and is held back by Rev (D+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is CROX overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $137.32, CROX sits about 18% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 0% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 12.5x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in CROX?

Trading within 2% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Beta 1.53 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return.
