This video takes a quick look at Michael Kors stock ahead of its earnings release. The fashion company is still struggling to recoup losses from a couple of years ago, but shares are at least upbeat so far in 2016.

The company also has a pretty solid fundamental rating, as the VGM here comes in with a top grade of ‘A’. Additionally, the most recent estimates have been positive, so the company has a positive Earnings ESP as well. If investors add that to an incredible history in earnings season, things are looking relatively upbeat for KORS in its report.

However, KORS was just downgraded to a ‘hold’ within the past week, moving the company out of ‘buy’ territory in the process. Michael Kors stock also finds itself in the bottom 25% from an industry rank, so it might not be a sure thing after all, though investors should probably expect a beat given the run for KORS.
