Why is Wolverine World Wide stock sliding today?

Wolverine World Wide (WWW) shares fell 4.2% pre-market despite beating Q3 2026 earnings estimates, with adjusted EPS of $0.79 and revenue of $505.4M. The drop was due to a $35.3M one-time tariff refund inflating results. Excluding this, margins were less impressive. The company raised full-year EPS guidance to $1.95-$1.99, but this includes the refund. Broader market weakness also contributed to the decline.
