Foot Locker's stock fell more than 6 percent Friday after the retailer posted mixed quarterly results.

The company reported first quarter earnings per share of $1.39 on revenue of $1.98 billion. Analysts expected earnings per share of $1.39 on revenue of $2 billion.

Foot Locker attributed light sales to rapidly shifting product category preferences, saying they were a challenge for the company.
