The firm has a beta of 0.6961. Let's try to break down what Footlocker's beta means in this case. As the market goes up, the company is expected to outperform it. However, if the market returns are negative, Footlocker will likely underperform. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Footlocker moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark). In other words, if Footlocker deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns. Footlocker generated the yearly revenue of 8.96 B. Reported Net Income was 893 M with gross profit of 3.06 B.

Footlocker's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Footlocker stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Footlocker's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Footlocker stock will not fluctuate a lot when Footlocker's options are near their expiration.

While other entities in the apparel retail industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Footlocker may not be as strong as the others in terms of longer-term growth potentials.
