INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
75
strong

Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
86
very strong

A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.

VALUATION
53
average

The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.

GROWTH
44
weak

Clearly below the class average.

PRICE MOMENTUM
80
very strong

The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.

WORTH WATCHING

Growth: Sales growth trails the sector average.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Below the peak, but no collapse.

The stock trades 17% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $0.84 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
A rich price tag

The company’s market value is 70 times its annual profit. Even a small disappointment could hit the price hard.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
Executives lean toward selling

Over the last 12 months, executives reported 43 sells against just 13 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A
77 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, SHOO sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”

The takeaway: SHOO is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (53/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
