Caleres stock continues to provide an attractive valuation at a price-earnings ratio of 5.65 and a price-sales ratio of 0.36, despite CAL holding its gains in a declining market. Caleres also offers a dividend yield of 1.05% with a forward dividend of $0.28. However, the business comes with a weak balance sheet. CAL currently owes $876.43 million in total debt and hold just $33.72 million in cash on their balance sheet, meaning Caleres stock could turn bearish if the risk-off sentiment continues in the market.
