Footwear & Accessories, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 12 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Footwear & Accessories outperforming S&P 500?

Footwear & Accessories has outperformed S&P 500 by 19% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 7.1%. 7 of 13 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Fossil Group, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +41.2%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Footwear & Accessories has outperformed S&P 500 by 19% over 52 weeks and 7.1% over 13 weeks. 7 of 13 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 6 of 13 beat the sector itself. NIKE, Inc. leads with revenue of $46,398 million, based on 8 of 13 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Crocs, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 57.8% evidence confidence.
Weyco Group, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Rocky Brands, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Fossil Group, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Footwear & Accessories at +264.7%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +46.4%. 7 of 13 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

NIKE, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 13 Footwear & Accessories companies compared here, at $46,398 million. On Holding AG is next at $3,119 million. Forward Industries, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: NIKE, Inc. is the scale leader at $46,398 million, 14.9× the revenue of On Holding AG. Forward Industries, Inc.'s growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 144.4% from a $44 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: NIKE, Inc. is the scale benchmark; Forward Industries, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: NIKE, Inc.'s growth falls below Forward Industries, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Return On Capital Employed

Crocs, Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 13 Footwear & Accessories companies compared here, at 7.8%. On Holding AG is next at 5.8%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +18.8 percentage points. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Crocs, Inc. leads ROCE at 7.8%, 2 percentage points above On Holding AG. Crocs, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +18.8 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: Crocs, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Birkenstock Holding plc has the lowest PEG among the 13 Footwear & Accessories companies compared here, at 0.38×. Weyco Group, Inc. is next at 0.98×. Crocs, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 10.4×, so level and change sit with different companies. 4 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Birkenstock Holding plc has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.38×, 61.2% below Weyco Group, Inc.. Only 4 of 13 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderBirkenstock Holding plc · 0.38×
Gap61.2% versus #2 · Weyco Group, Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage4/13 companies · 38 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Footwear & Accessories comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 13 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
11 · evidence and freshness

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 13 Footwear & Accessories companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
