Designer Brands (DBI) made it through our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen and could be a great choice for investors looking for stocks that have gained strong momentum recently but are still trading at reasonable prices.
Designer Brands Inc. is rated BUY after a 15% post-earnings rally driven by EPS beat and raised FY27 guidance. DBI's own brands, especially Topo and Jessica Simpson, delivered strong double-digit sales growth, supporting margin expansion despite weak top-line retail sales. Gross profit margin rose to 50% (+6.4 pts yoy), and operating profit more than doubled, aided by lower promotions and tariff refunds.

Despite recent progress, DBI remains a watchlist candidate rather than a compelling buy, as turnaround durability is still being tested.
