도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인이 제안한 관세는 이미 여러 산업의 기업들을 뒤흔들기 시작했으며, 많은 기업이 이익을 보호하기 위한 조치를 취하고 있다. 모든 수입품에 10~20%의 세금을 부과하고 중국산 제품에 60~100%의 관세를 부과하는 관세는 상당한 우려를 불러일으키고 있으며, 그 비용은 소비자의 지갑으로 바로 전가될 가능성이 높다.

Shares of apparel stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate supply chain uncertainty and macroeconomic uncertainty and help boost consumer sentiment.

While Steven Madden Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>) reported a "significant" earnings beat on Wednesday, Telsey Advisory Group reported that the company withdrew its full-year guidance due to tariff-related uncertainty.
The Steven Madden Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Analyst Dana Telsey</a> maintained a Market Perform rating and price of $24.
The Steven Madden Thesis: The company completed the acquisition of Kurt Geiger, which nicely complements the existing business as "it skews higher end and more towards handbags," Telsey said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Management withdrew its 2025 guidance, due to uncertainty associated with tariffs, which was not surprising given the company's exposure to China for sourcing, she added.
The analyst highlighted that Steven Madden plans to follow a three-pronged tariff mitigation strategy:
<ul>
<li>Moving production out of China</li>
<li>Negotiating with suppliers for price concessions</li>
<li>Taking price on products</li>
</ul>
Management indicated that these changes would position the company for long-term growth, she stated.
"Overall, we believe SHOO has been bringing trend-right products to market quickly, growing its apparel and accessories business, and expanding internationally," Dana further wrote.
SHOO Price Action: Shares of Steven Madden had risen by 2% to $23.90 at the time of publication Thursday.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.
