Foot Locker’s stock surged Thursday after its quarterly earnings report exceeded expectations. Revenue was slightly below estimates at $1.879 billion, but adjusted earnings per share of 22 cents beat estimates at 12 cents. The stock was up about 20% in midday trading after hitting highs of nearly 32% for the session. CEO Mary Dillon’s turnaround plan seems to be working, with better-than-expected earnings and improving margins. Customers are paying up for products, and Foot Locker’s relationship with Nike is reinvigorated. The company is also relaunching its loyalty program to improve customer relationships. Guidance for the full year remains stable, with comparable sales expected to rise between 1% and 3%. Despite obstacles in the past, investors are encouraged by Foot Locker’s progress and are looking forward to potential growth in the future.
