Short interest, days-to-cover, and institutional-ownership change require a data-plan upgrade (not yet available).
Forward-return IC, quintile spread & hit rate publish on /performance as the tracking panel accrues enough no-look-ahead history.
Working the DCF backward: holding the assumptions below, this is the free-cash-flow growth today's price implies over the next 10 years. It is a read on the price's embedded expectations — not a fair-value or target price.
The price implies FCF growth below the analyst consensus of 8.3%/yr (revenue basis).

The QScore of 56 for DECK suggests a neutral outlook, driven by strong profitability scores, with a notable ROE of 41.1% and high gross margin of 57.8%, which boosts its overall score. However, the stock's momentum score is a drag, given its -11.1% return over the past year and recent underperformance. The long-term and short-term scores are relatively aligned, with only a 6-point difference, indicating a consistent view across different time horizons. DECK's valuation metrics, such as a P/E of 13.1, suggest it trades at a reasonable level.
