Crocs Stock Surges 7.06% on $310M Volume, Ranks 376th in Market Activity

Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) surged 7.06% on August 13, 2025, with a trading volume of $310 million, marking a 46.69% increase from the previous day and ranking 376th in market activity. The stock’s recent performance follows mixed signals from the company’s earnings report and insider transactions.

John B. Replogle, a director at Crocs, purchased 3,261 shares of the company’s common stock on August 8, 2025, in two separate transactions totaling $250,084. The shares were acquired at prices ranging from $76.302 to $76.734, reflecting confidence in the stock despite its proximity to a 52-week low of $73.76. Post-purchase, Replogle’s direct holdings in Crocs increased to 15,417 shares.

Earlier in July, Crocs reported Q2 2025 adjusted earnings of $4.23 per share, exceeding estimates of $4.02, alongside revenue of $1.15 billion, slightly above the projected $1.14 billion. However, the company’s guidance for the third quarter fell below expectations, prompting multiple analyst downgrades. KeyBanc cut its price target to $95 while maintaining an Overweight rating, while BofA Securities reduced its target to $99 but kept a Buy rating. Barclays and Williams Trading also adjusted their ratings to Equalweight and Hold, respectively, citing macroeconomic uncertainties and brand challenges.

A backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to the present generated a total profit of $2,385.14. The returns showed steady growth with minor fluctuations, indicating the strategy’s moderate effectiveness over the period.
