What happened
Shares of Fossil Group ( NASDAQ:FOSL) were heading lower today after rival Capri Holdings ( NYSE:CPRI), the parent of fashion brands Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and Versace, noted weakness in the watch market. That pressured shares of Fossil as watches make up the fashion brand's core business. The stock was down 10% as of 3 p.m. EST on Wednesday.
So what
Though Capri Holdings shares jumped on a strong earnings report, its CEO John Idol highlighted challenges in the watch market on the earnings call, saying, "The overall watch category was more challenged than we anticipated in the quarter." Idol added, "The fashion-watch category continues to see declines globally, and we are being impacted by this secular trend.".
Now what
Fossil shares have collapsed over the last several years due to concerns about declining sales and the future of the watch market, but the stock spiked a year ago when the company showed signs of life. Fossil sits at the intersection of two struggling industries -- watches and brick-and-mortar retail -- and is clearly vulnerable.
