PVH

PVH reported Q2 revenue down 3% and adjusted EPS of $3.70, driven by $107 million in tariff refunds that added roughly $1.80 per share and about 510 basis points to gross margin; excluding the refunds, operating margin was about 6%. Americas revenue fell slightly while Asia‑Pacific grew and EMEA declined 6% amid weak wholesale demand and geopolitical pressures. The company reaffirmed full‑year guidance for roughly flat reported revenue, an ~8.8% operating margin and adjusted EPS of $11.80–$12.10, and announced at least $300 million in share repurchases, $45 million of identified annualized cost savings and a $439 million non‑cash goodwill impairment. PVH plans continued investment in e‑commerce and stores and expects Q3 revenue to decline low single digits with operating margin around 7.5%. » More on finance.yahoo.com
