Why Are Birkenstock Shares Rising Premarket?

The move shows optimism ahead of the German footwear company's quarterly report.

Birkenstock Holding (BIRK) shares rose over 1.5% in Thursday's session and another 2% in extended trading, after Goldman Sachs raised its rating on the sandal maker.The research firm raised the rating on the company's shares to 'Buy' from 'Neutral,' while maintaining its $60 price target, according to a summary of the investor note on The Fly. That indicates an over 15% upside to BIRK's last closing price.Currently, 20 of the 22 analysts covering the stock have a 'Buy' or higher rating, and two rate it 'Hold,' according to Koyfin data. Their average price target is $72.26.Goldman Sachs sees "robust" momentum and an attractive valuation for Birkenstock in a challenging macro backdrop. The company has a "strong" product proposition, with pricing power and opportunities to win share in a "highly fragmented" footwear market, the research firm said.Goldman Sachs also noted Birkenstock's vertically integrated manufacturing setup in Europe, which would support the company's margins.Although&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BIRK">BIRK shares</a> have rebounded over the last couple of weeks, they remain 15.5% below their 2025 peak achieved on Jan. 30.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment shifted to 'neutral' early Friday from 'bearish' the previous day, with several users&nbsp;taking note of the latest upgrade.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1416/154;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_25_at_10_41_26_AM_png_d52d1b15f5.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-25 at 10.41.26 AM.png" width="1416" height="154"><figcaption>BIRK sentiment and message volume as of July 25 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>In May, Birkenstock raised its annual profit outlook and authorized a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/birkenstock-authorizes-200m-buyback-but-retail-remains-cold/ch0AkaLRbti">$200 million share buyback</a>.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/chinese-e-commerce-giant-jd-com-could-reportedly-snap-up-media-markt-parent-for-2-6-b-retail-bulls-eye-breakout/choGqh1R5v9">Chinese E-Commerce Giant JD.com Could Reportedly Snap Up MediaMarkt Parent For $2.6B: Retail Bulls Eye Breakout</a>
