Tapestry Inc.TPRSELLAug 21, 2013Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 23, 2026. Market Open.
Got an analyst upgrade today and the stock surged and lifted the entire retail clothing sector. He prefers tried-and-true Lululemon though.
This is gone through a respectable 1st round of recovery. They’ve renovated about 500 stores and are planning to renovate a couple of more. They’ve removed their products from about a quarter of the Department stores, and have reduced the number of promotions/sales which has helped their profit margins. These are entry-level luxury items, and people only buy 1 or 2 of them, unless they expand their offerings. They are not buying 4 or 5. Not sure where the growth is going to come from. Feels the easy money has already been made.
A great company but they are having some executive departures. Great balance sheet and margins are good but in the short term there is lumpiness with management changes and more competition. The last quarterly results released were not on fire where usually they can have some pretty strong numbers. It’s a tough market. There are a number of competitors out there.
