Apparel Earnings Winners and Losers: Ralph Lauren Takes OffAuthor: Leo Miller. Publication Date: 5/25/2026. 
Key Points
- As apparel companies reported their financial results, three names stood out.
- Notably, Ralph Lauren shares saw one of its largest gains in recent memory, driven by strong bottom-line performance.
- However, analysts are eyeing gains of over 50% in another name that had a solid quarter.
- Special Report: The Biggest IPO Ever: Claim Your Stake Today
Several apparel companies, including well-known names and emerging growth leaders near the top of the industry, just reported financial results. The good news is that all of them posted beats on sales and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). The bad news is that, despite those strong results, not every stock rose. Here are the biggest winners and losers from the latest round of apparel earnings. Top Winner: Ralph Lauren Sees Biggest Single-Day Gain Since April 2025Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) was clearly the biggest winner from the latest round of apparel earnings. The stock surged 13.9% after its report, with the company posting several strong beats and solid guidance. In fiscal Q4 2026, Ralph Lauren posted revenue of $1.98 billion, a gain of nearly 17% year over year (YOY). Note that the company’s fiscal reporting period is several quarters ahead of the calendar period. That result was in line with the upper end of the company’s growth range over the past three years. Revenue also easily topped expectations by more than $130 million.

Adjusted EPS rose even faster, increasing 23% YOY to $2.80. That result crushed estimates of $2.52. Ralph Lauren noted that women’s apparel, outerwear, and handbags were especially strong, growing 20% YOY. The company expects sales growth in these categories to continue outpacing overall company growth. For fiscal 2027, Ralph Lauren expects mid-single-digit sales growth, centered at 4% to 5% YOY. It also expects meaningful margin expansion, forecasting operating margin growth of 40 to 60 basis points. The company’s revenue growth outlook was slightly ahead of estimates. Overall, better-than-expected results on both the top and bottom lines clearly caught investors’ attention, leading to Ralph Lauren’s largest single-day gain in more than a year. Winner: Amer Sports Delivers Over 30% Growth, Raises GuidanceAmer Sports (NYSE: AS) has performed very well since going public in 2024, rising more than 150% since its debut. Much of that performance has been driven by the growing popularity of its Arc’teryx brand. However, the stock has traded sideways for about a year and is down modestly in 2026. Fortunately, the company went on a solid run in the days after reporting earnings, climbing more than 5%. Amer reported sales growth of 32% YOY to $1.95 billion, significantly beating estimates of $1.84 billion. Adjusted EPS also rose nearly 40% YOY to 38 cents, far above expectations of 31 cents, which called for growth of only 15%. The company’s Technical Apparel segment, led by Arc’teryx, posted another strong quarter with 33% growth. The Outdoor Performance segment did even better, rising 42% YOY, driven by the Salomon brand. Amer also raised its full-year guidance, now projecting sales growth of 20% to 22% YOY. That was a meaningful increase from prior expectations of 16% to 18% YOY. Adjusted EPS guidance also moved higher, to a range of $1.18 to $1.23, compared with previous forecasts of $1.10 to $1.15. That update implies EPS growth of 24% YOY at the midpoint. Overall, it was a strong showing for a company that is growing at one of the fastest rates in the apparel industry. Slight Loser: Deckers Falls Despite Big EPS BeatMarkets were less enthusiastic about the results of Deckers Outdoor (NYSE: DECK), with shares opening only 1% higher the day after the report. Even so, the results themselves were strong. Revenue rose 10% YOY to $1.12 billion, exceeding estimates by more than $30 million. Adjusted EPS fell 4% YOY to 96 cents, but that decline was far better than the 14% YOY drop analysts had expected. Deckers’ Hoka brand performed particularly well, with sales rising 15% YOY to $671 million, a record quarterly total for the brand. The company also provided better-than-expected full-year fiscal 2027 guidance. (Note that Deckers’ fiscal year reporting period is several quarters ahead of the calendar period.) The company projects net consolidated sales of $5.86 billion to $5.91 billion and adjusted EPS of $7.30 to $7.45. Deckers also announced a significant $3.5 billion increase to its buyback authorization, bringing total capacity to around $5 billion. Deckers now has massive buyback capacity, equal to more than 30% of the company’s market capitalization, giving it significant ability to continue supporting per-share metrics. DECK shares rose nearly 9% in the two trading days before the release. As a result, investors can still walk away relatively satisfied that the stock held onto those gains, even if it didn’t rally the day after its earnings report. Updated Targets Forecast Over 50% Gain in Amer SportsAmong this group, analysts continue to forecast substantial upside in Amer Sports. The MarketBeat consensus price target on Amer sits near $48, implying more than 30% upside. Targets updated after the company’s report are even more optimistic, averaging nearly $54. That revised average suggests the stock could rise by more than 50%. |
