Tom Nikic’s rating is based on Ralph Lauren’s impressive financial performance and strategic positioning. The company reported strong fourth-quarter results, surpassing revenue and earnings expectations, which demonstrates its robust operational capabilities. Additionally, Ralph Lauren’s guidance for the fiscal year 2026 appears conservative, suggesting potential for future earnings surprises and upward revisions.
Another factor contributing to the Buy rating is Ralph Lauren’s global brand strength and pricing power, which have been consistent over the years. The company has successfully managed to grow its average unit retail price for eight consecutive years, offsetting tariff impacts. Furthermore, Ralph Lauren’s solid balance sheet, highlighted by nearly $1 billion in net cash, provides a strong foundation for continued growth and financial stability.
In another report released on May 19, J.P. Morgan also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $342.00 price target.
