Engaged has had great success as an activist, but almost all that success has come at small-cap companies. VF Corp. was in desperate need of a new CEO, and they got one. Engaged also urges VF Corp. to evaluate non-core divestitures to fix the balance sheet. After adding up all the pieces, Engaged sees a path to a $46 share price within three years.

But Harrer, who joined Vans from Dollar Shave Club in April 2021, noted that Vans wasn't reminding people about those classic shoes. Vans stopped marketing its classic sneakers for some time before resuming earlier this year with the "Classic Since Forever" campaign. "Our top-tier limited-distribution footwear, which you may know as Vans Vault, has previously met the needs of influential footwear-trend accounts in the past," he said. With Vans Vault, the company takes classic shoes and collaborates with popular designers and boutiques on new colorways. Vans Vault releases compete with Nike, Adidas, Converse, and others for the general sneaker lover.
Benno Dorer, who sits on the company's board, will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for Rendle's permanent replacement. VF Corp. said it now expects full-year revenue to increase by 3% or 4% over the prior year, down from previously projected growth of 5% or 6%. It estimates its full-year earnings to come in at about $2.00 to $2.20 per share, down from previous guidance of $2.40 to $2.50, announced a few weeks ago. VF Corp. reported full-year earnings of $3.18 per share last year. This is the second time in less than two months that VF Corp. has slashed its guidance.
