Piper Jaffray analyst Erinn Murphy lowered her price target for Foot Locker (FL) to $35 and reduced her estimates "materially" following the company's Q2 miss and guide down. Management referred to the rapidly changing landscape as some of the most significant shifts seen in history, Murphy points out in a research note. She sees the shift to more digital platforms as well as the brand leadership rotation from Nike (NKE) to adidas (ADDYY) as weighing on Foot Locker's traffic and margins. The analyst keeps a Neutral rating on the shares.
