Fossil (FOSL) PT Cut to $44 at Mizuho

Mizuho Securities analyst Betty Chen reiterated a Neutral rating and lowered her price target on Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) to $44.00 (from $60.00) following lower guidance and the Misfit acquisition.

Chen commented, "We remain sidelined on shares of FOSL given a bleak outlook as headwinds from: (1) wearables and technology; (2) brand challenges (KORS 26% of sales); and (3) on-going macro and FX headwinds continue to plague the company. While we were encouraged by solid results in Skagen and Fossil brands and positive initial reaction to the Q connected product launch, lowered FY15 outlook and tepid watch interest per our Fall Handbag and Accessories Survey suggests near-term headwinds will prevail. Moreover, mixed investor reaction to the dilutive Misfit acquisition will likely keep shares pressured pending earnings visibility."
