Why Crocs Stock Is Rising Today

Crocs Inc CROX shares are trading higher Tuesday following bullish analyst coverage from Loop Capital.

Loop Capital analyst Laura Champine upgraded Crocs from a Hold rating to Buy and announced a $75 price target, citing positive channel checks.

Following a series of channel checks, Champine found encouraging signs that suggest investor sentiment has become too negative. As a result, the Loop Capital analyst believes the risk/reward opportunity has become more attractive. Champine also noted that Crocs' valuation looks more appealing after falling nearly 60% since the start of the year.
