Although the form of the world economy prospects, sales of UGG sheepskin boots sluggish growth, but with the brand of Deckers Outdoor Products still good profitability, and its price-earnings ratio is very low, therefore holders of its shares long-term investors is a good choice.
Trends changing thousands of shoes, the investors can accurately grasp the vast fortune, can not grasp the investors suffered a crushing defeat. Over the years the UGG sheepskin boots, has been one of the most popular footwear brand, its brand owner Deckers Outdoor company's stock has been highly sought after. In the past 10 years, Dexter's revenue grew 15-fold, reaching $ 1.56 billion. The past seven months, Reed Alex's stock dropped to $ 53, or more than 50 percent, compared with 10 years ago, or up 3300%.
Been singing empty UGG investors are now very proud of, but to talk about deep and retailers, fashion designers, analysts and consumers, we found that UGG is still great potential, but Dexter's sluggish stock price very attractive. With sheep prices fall, the company in international expansion and continue to open retail stores, Dexter's stock price next year at least up to $ 75.
However, these positive has only just begun to ferment. Robert - Luna said: "Now is a good time to Jiancang less need to consider risk management to Dexter's current share price level." Asset management company in Phoenix, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Capital Management SureVest ownership of shares of Deckers.
UGG sheepskin boots popular before, the the Deckers most famous is the Teva sandals. Teva launched in 1985, is the first professional sandals series. 10 years later, is the second year of the public offering of the Dexter company, the company spent $ 15 million to buy the UGG brand. In the 1960s, Australia's surfing athletes first started wearing UGG products. Since then, UGG sales of rapid growth on the basis of low, but it was not until Angel - Martinez became CEO after the formation of real climate. Martinez was Reebok's chief marketing officer, he set up the company's athletic footwear brand. Martinez, the use of high-end department store to expand the UGG sales, such as Nordisk Sturm the Manma Marcus department store, and the Bloomingdale Department Store. In order to improve the grade of the brand, UGG products are not mass chains and where the sale of such a medium-sized retailers like Macy's.
Although the world economic recession, but Dexter's income in the past five years or a 35% average annual growth rate of earnings per share grew even faster, up to 44%. The company's total revenue last year was $ 1.38 billion, profits $ 199 million and earnings per share of $ 5.07.
In this context, this year in terms of Dexter is indeed a disaster: the sudden warm winter, sheep prices rose 40 percent as well as the economic crisis in Europe, UGG has been hoping to expand sales there. UGG accounted for 87% of Deckers's sales revenue last year, this product has a very large problem on Dexter.

CFO Thomas - George told Barron's: "We will continue to buy back shares, so that can help us to set a lower limit for the assessment of earnings per share."
At the same time, since April in sheep's clothing prices have dropped 35 percent, mainly due to the Australian sheep breeding increase in the number and the rise in meat consumption. If this trend continues, Dexter will be a great good.
UGG flagship sheepskin boots are usually per pair price of $ 200, they usually only wear one or two winter, after the company's loyal users will continue to buy UGG.
Company Nordisk Sturm said: "UGG is a very valuable partner, their products have been favored by customers." Some small retailers also sell UGG Justin - Siegel said, the Little, president of Pittsburgh : "After the weather gets cold, the first thing people think of is to buy a new pair of UGG, UGG sales are very confident."
Deckers opened a total of 46 UGG store, including the flagship store in Madison Avenue, New York. This year's first quarter performance is disappointing, these stores sales growth is single digit, UGG series of product sales increased by only 6.5%. But the management told Barron's, the company's spring and summer series of products, such as sandals, sports shoes and canvas shoes, performance is excellent. CEO Martinez said: "The long-term investors aware of the strength of the brand."
Dexter's profit fell 59 percent in the first quarter due to the decline in operating margin and demand in Europe. The first quarter of the amount of international sales increase 34 percent, reaching $ 76 million, accounting for 31% of the total income, but far lower than expected. This trend many analysts uneasy at Canaccord Genuity's Camilo - Lyon pointed out that Dexter profit growth in the future the key in the international market. April in a report in Deckers stock level buy reduced to possession, Lyon said: "Europe's economic situation has affected the demand for the product, and Dexter's mostly new stores are planned for where to open.

"
The past six years, UGG not only the production of the minimalist style of footwear products to begin production keeping up with fashion accessories and coats. Last fall, the company even launched a series of dedicated men's boots, sandals, oxford shoes and sports shoes. Martinez is very clearly the value of sports stars in the Reebok experience, Dexter invited to the New England Patriots (microblogging) team quarterback - Tom Brady to do Brand Ambassador.
Dexter did not disclose the UGG brand sales, but analysts estimated that the traditional boots, accounting for about 50 percent of UGG's sales revenue last year. Martinez and his team also continue to add fresh elements to the Teva family of products, Teva last year accounted for 9% of the total sales revenue of Deckers.
