Why is Canada Goose stock sliding today?

Canada Goose (GOOS) shares fell 5.5% in pre-market trading after Wells Fargo downgraded the stock to 'underweight' with a C$10.00 price target, citing structural concerns. The stock has faced pressure from multiple analyst downgrades and potential U.S. tariffs on Canadian apparel. The broader market's decline also contributed to the drop, with GOOS trading near its 52-week low of $8.42.
