Factors to Note

Consumers’ return to active social lifestyle has spurred demand for accessories and branded lifestyle products, and Tapestry is likely to have benefited from the same. The company has been deepening engagement with consumers, creating innovative and compelling products, and enhancing digital and data analytics capabilities. Strength in North America as well as sustained growth in digital and China might have favorably impacted the company’s top-line performance in the quarter to be reported.

Tapestry’s Acceleration Program, aimed at transforming the company into a leaner and more responsive organization as well as consumer-centric and data-driven, has been a major catalyst. The company’s focus on improving SKU productivity, maintaining price discipline and lowering promotional activity might have contributed to margins.

From the growth perspective, China remains a bright spot for the company, and is likely to have driven the top line in the quarter to be reported. The company has been accelerating growth in the region through tailored and innovative product assortments, enhanced marketing and expanded reach across direct channels and third-party online distribution.

We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands' revenues is pegged at $1,449 million, $435 million and $101 million, respectively. This indicates a respective year-over-year increase of 18.3%, 15.8% and 19.5% for Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman.

While aforementioned factors instill optimism regarding the outcome of the results, we cannot ignore the impact of ongoing supply chain headwinds and increased freight costs due to the pandemic. Also, any deleverage in SG&A expenses might get reflected in margins.
