  • Fossil Group Shares Surge 8.3% Amid Mixed Earnings Outlook
    April 9, 2026, 9:16 AM EDT. Fossil Group (FOSL) shares jumped 8.3% to close at $5.2 on heavy volume, extending a 19.1% gain over the past month. Despite this rally, the watchmaker is expected to report a quarterly loss of $0.22 per share, a 120% decline year over year, with revenues down 12% to $205.3 million. Consensus earnings estimates have been revised sharply lower by 236.4% in the last 30 days, typically a bearish signal. Fossil is focusing on a brand-led turnaround with full-price sales and cost tightening to support margins and growth, particularly in the U.S. and India. The stock retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Peer Urban Outfitters (URBN) gained 5.4%, but its earnings forecasts also declined slightly. Investors should watch if Fossil's price momentum can withstand its weak earnings forecast.
