Caleres stock (ISIN US1294661058) closed at USD 11.95 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, gaining 1.44 percent from the prior close. The latest company outlook places fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS at USD 1.40 to USD 1.65, keeping the upper end close to the current consensus figure.

Guidance sets the key test

According to Frontier Picks on September 21, 2026, the fiscal 2026 consensus for adjusted EPS was USD 1.62, compared with Caleres guidance of USD 1.40 to USD 1.65. The consensus therefore sits USD 0.02 below the top of the company range, leaving execution and the Famous Footwear segment as the central operating variables.

The same September 21, 2026 analysis said Caleres had pulled its second-quarter fiscal 2026 report forward to September 9, 2026, while Famous Footwear was guided lower. That combination creates a clear comparison point: the USD 1.62 consensus is within the official range, but the range spans USD 0.25 from its lower to upper end.

Stock remains a mid-cap shoe play

Caleres, Inc. is listed under ticker CAL on the NYSE in USD. A September 18, 2026 market note identified the company as a US mid-cap footwear and accessories business and linked the share valuation to its latest available annual figures, while also confirming the ISIN, ticker and primary trading venue.

The operating picture is therefore split between an earnings framework and segment pressure. The fiscal 2026 EPS range of USD 1.40 to USD 1.65 provides the measurable baseline, while the lower Famous Footwear guidance is the main counter-factor to the upper-end consensus case.

Price stays below the outlook test

At USD 11.95 on September 21, 2026, Caleres stock ended the latest completed trading session with a 1.44 percent daily gain. The next market judgment depends on whether subsequent operating figures support the USD 1.62 fiscal 2026 consensus without further pressure on Famous Footwear.
