Foot Locker CEO Mary Dillon told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday that both physical stores alongside online shopping remain important in the retail sector. "Brick and mortar is never going to be dead, and you have to invest in your stores to make them exciting for your customers," she said. Dillon, who served as the CEO of Ulta Beauty before taking the reigns at Foot Locker two years ago, has focused on improving the company's stores and strengthening brand partnerships. Dillon said the Foot Locker plans to have two thirds of its stores "refreshed" by the end of 2025. She added that some of the new stores feature technology to help figure out customers' shoe sizes, which creates a "fun digital experience."

Take Gap and Foot Locker — two unlikely winners that posted results on Thursday. Under CEO Mary Dillon, Foot Locker has worked to change its stores, where it does more than 80% of its sales. It has tried to create not only a better shopping experience for consumers but also a better place for its critical brand partners. Instead of two walls of shoes with competing brands mixed together, Foot Locker is changing its fleet so the brands have their own unique displays. With refreshed stores and better product displays, consumers are converting more, too, and paying full price — even Foot Locker's lower-income shopper.

While there's "no guarantee" that Foot Locker will benefit from Nike's pivot, Citi said, increased allocation of Nike products at Foot Locker "would be a positive" for sales and margins over time. Evercore ISI turned "more confident" on Foot Locker after it gathered positive takeaways from meeting with the FL's management team. Foot Locker also confirmed it has "also now gained share in the U.S in February," they added. Additionally, they said Foot Locker can achieve its operating margin target of 8.5% to 9% before 2028.

Following the Foot Locker debacle earlier this week, there could be more turmoil in the retailer space. Because publicly traded companies provide quarterly financial reports, historic revenue growth and earnings multiples are available to everyone. Earlier this week, I wrote that Foot Locker 's outperformance relative to Nike was hard to comprehend. Dick's did not fall in sympathy with Foot Locker as Academy did, and admittedly Dick's is a very different business than Foot Locker.

Foot Locker (FL) reported quarterly results that can only be described as better than feared: Nearly all of the important metrics came in weaker than a year ago, but they weren't as terrible as expectations on Wall Street. While Wednesday's surge put Foot Locker's quarter-to-date gains at nearly 60%, the stock was still down roughly 27% in 2023. Better sales guidance than previously forecast and only a slightly worse earnings outlook also helped juice shares of Foot Locker. In our view, this is appropriate because Foot Locker is a turnaround story. Shoppers leave the American multinational sportswear and footwear retailer, Foot Locker store in Spain.
