Crocs’ Comfort, Style, and Earnings Eating Up the Competition

The company’s Crocs brand generated 10% more quarterly revenue than the year before. CROX also stomped consensus earnings estimates by 34% on the back of a 55.3% fourth quarter gross margin figure versus 52.5% the prior year.

It’s no wonder CROX shares are up 65% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
