DECK has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Bullish action came after it reported very strong Mar '24 quarterly earnings +43% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly earnings comparisons were also well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,411 in Jun '23 to 1,880 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days.

It has a small supply of only 25.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The small supply is favorable, provided proper discipline is used.

Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK -$0.73 or -0.81% to $89.85) finished with a small loss on lighter volume today after it was poised for a best-ever close. Subsequent gains to new highs with above average volume would be an encouraging sign of institutional accumulation, but its choppy consolidation included a pullback of -18% in the past 6 weeks that is not recognized as a sound base pattern. It has also not distanced itself from an earlier "double bottom" base following its last appearance in this FSU section on 3/03/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Recent Churning Action Indicates Distributional Pressure."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 474 in Dec '09 to 592 as of Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria. Strong quarterly earnings and annual earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria. Even after a 3:1 split earlier this year, it still has a small supply of only 38.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The small supply is favorable, provided proper discipline is used.

Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK +$1.66 or +1.96% to $86.24) has posted 2 consecutive gains on light or near average volume after recent losses on above average volume. Churning above average volume action without meaningful price progress has been noted as indicative of distributional pressure following its 2/17/11 technical breakout. Support to watch is at its pivot point and 50-day moving average (DMA) line (now $81.68). Any subsequent gains with above average volume for a new high close (N criteria) would be a very reassuring sign reconfirming proof of institutional accumulation. Following its last appearance in this FSU section on 1/26/11 with an annotated graph under the headline "Short-Term Average Violation Triggered Sell Signal Last Week" it subsequently rebounded back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during a streak of 10 consecutive gains with light volume.

It reported earnings +30% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year earlier. Technically, a powerful positive reversal and strong finish on 2/17/11 had clinched a late buy signal based on the previously noted "double bottom" base pattern. The consolidation (on 2/15 and 2/16) was too short to be considered a proper "handle" on a cup-with-handle pattern. A handle needs to be at least 1-week long and should drift downward on light volume. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 474 in Dec '09 to 572 as of Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria. Strong quarterly earnings and annual earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria. Even after a 3:1 split earlier this year, it still has a small supply of only 38.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The small supply is favorable, provided proper discipline is used.

DECK managed to hit new all-time highs after its last appearance in this FSU section on 12/16/10 under the headline, "Recent Consolidation May Be A New Advanced "3-Weeks Tight", however it subsequently made very little headway then slumped back under its pivot point. Last week's losses led more technical damage. Keep in mind that it traded as much as +67.5% from when it was first featured in yellow in the 6/11/10 mid-day report, having really heated up in the later part of 2010.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 474 in Dec '09 to 554 as of Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria. Earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline in the 5 latest comparisons versus the year ago periods, satisfying the C criteria. This apparel firm has a great annual earnings history (A criteria). Even after a 3:1 split earlier this year, it still has a small supply of only 38.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The small supply is favorable, provided proper discipline is used.

Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK +$0.80 or +0.98% to $82.58) has been stubbornly holding its ground for the past 2 weeks near its all-time high. Volume totals have been cooling while it may be forming a "3-weeks tight" type pattern. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines the nearest chart support level. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 474 in Dec '09 to 536 as of Sep '10, a reassuring sign concerning the investment system's I criteria.

At its last appearance in this FSU section on 10/2710 under the headline "Bullish Action Ahead Of Earnings News Pending" it was perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. It had been featured in yellow in the mid-day report (read here) while pulling back while noted - "Technically, it broke out from a saucer-with-handle pattern with above average volume on the prior session. The pivot point cited is based upon its 10/15/10 high plus ten cents. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. Confirming gains into new all-time high ground with above average volume would be a very reassuring sign."

Quarterly sales revenues showed a bigger +34% increase in quarter ended June 30, 2010, an encouraging acceleration. Earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline in the 4 latest comparisons versus the year ago periods, satisfying the C criteria. This apparel firm has a great annual earnings history (A criteria). Even after a 3:1 split earlier this year, it still has a small supply of only 38.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it prone to be a volatile stock in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution.

DECK made its last appearance in this FSU section on 7/01/10 under the headline "After Clearing Overhead Supply Latest Breakout Failed" and was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/20/10. It found support above its longer-term 200-day moving average (DMA) line in the interim. Do not be confused when reviewing prior reports after the stock split 3:1 effective as of 7/06/10. It appeared in yellow in the 6/11/10 mid-day report (read here) and finished that session strong as it rallied to a new 52-week high with volume nearly 2 times average. Having cleared a choppy 7-week consolidation, it went on to challenge its 2007 all-time high and briefly traded even higher. Although it was unhindered by resistance due to overhead supply then, it soon negated the breakout and began to weaken. Along with it, the major indices fell into another correction. It has proven resilient and could be poised for a more successful rally now.

Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK -$0.98 or -0.69% to $141.89) finished lower today on average volume for its 4th consecutive loss, slumping further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Weak market (M criteria) action may be expected to drag 3 out of 4 stocks lower, meanwhile, caution is advised until another new confirmed rally begins.

DECK appeared in yellow in the 6/11/10 mid-day report (read here) and finished that session strong as it rallied to a new 52-week high with volume nearly 2 times average. Having cleared a choppy 7-week consolidation, it went on to challenge its 2007 all-time high ($166) and briefly traded even higher. Although it was unhindered by resistance due to overhead supply, it soon negated the breakout and began to weaken. Along with it, the major indices fell into another correction. For disciplined investors a major concern now is that, until another new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day occurs, the negative M criteria argues against new buying efforts. Meanwhile, 3 out of 4 stocks typically follow the direction of the major averages, and their path of least Resistance appears to be heading lower for the time being.

Quarterly sales revenues increases have been in the +16% range while earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline in the 3 latest comparisons. This apparel firm has a great annual earnings history (A criteria). Earnings estimates are in the 11-12% range for FY '10 and '11, and its rather lackluster sales revenues growth rate also leaves some concerns, fundamentally.

Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK +6.36 or +4.16% to $159.21) was noted earlier today as it appeared in yellow in the mid-day report (read here). It finished strong and rallied to a new 52-week high with volume nearly 2 times average. Having cleared a choppy 7-week consolidation, it may be on course to challenge its 2007 all-time high ($166) and perhaps go even higher, unhindered by resistance due to overhead supply. Quarterly sales revenues increases have been in the +16% range while earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline in the 3 latest comparisons. The previously noted 2/26/10 "breakaway gap" was followed by meaningful gains. This apparel firm has a great annual earnings history (A criteria). Earnings estimates are in the 11-12% range for FY '10 and '11, and its rather lackluster sales revenues growth rate also leaves some concerns, fundamentally. For disciplined investors, a major concern remains that the major averages have not yet produced a confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day. That leaves the M criteria an overriding concern that argues against new buying efforts, since 3 out of 4 stocks typically follow the direction of the major averages.
