We recently published an article titled Why These 15 Large-Cap Stocks Are Plunging So Far In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE:DECK) stands against the other large-cap stocks.

The big and large-cap stocks have spearheaded the rally in the past two years, but Wall Street’s expectations have gotten ahead of many of their fundamentals. The Nasdaq briefly entered correction territory as the stock market cooled over the past week due to tariff fears and a perceived slowdown in the growth of AI, which then spilled into the data center industry.

Wall Street is now reassessing the growth premium they are paying for many of these large-cap stocks. A lot of them have tumbled in the past week and have done so in a much more severe way than the broader market.

That said, large companies have staying power, and many of them could now be undervalued.

The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 after a post-earnings selloff. It reported strong Q3 FY2025 results with $1.83 billion revenue, up 17% year-over-year, and EPS of $3 that beat the $2.46 consensus.

But the stock still declined due to concerns over its valuations and slower growth. Analysts also expected the company to raise guidance more.

Furthermore, there has been insider selling, with a director selling $3.47 million of shares.

The consensus price target of $197.41 implies 45.11% upside.

Overall DECK ranks 4th on our list of the large-cap stocks that are plunging so far in 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of DECK as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than DECK but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
