Read MoreHide Full Article
In spite of a challenging backdrop, Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI - Free Report) reported stronger-than-anticipated first-quarter fiscal 2022 results, wherein both the top and the bottom lines improved meaningfully on a year-over-year basis. The company was encouraged by the performance of all three luxury brands. Impressively, management raised fiscal year revenues and earnings view.
Shares of Capri Holdings were up during the pre-market trading session on Jul 30. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock has increased 20.2% in the past six months compared with the industry’s rise of 15.1%.
Quite apparent, the fashion and apparel space is brimming with optimism, courtesy of rapid inoculation drive and relaxation in pandemic-induced restrictions. The gradual return to active social lifestyle, events and occasions have spurred demand, and Capri Holdings looks well-poised to tap the same.
John D. Idol, chairman and CEO, said, "Looking forward, we are confident in the growth opportunities for Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors as the world continues to recover from the impact of the global pandemic. As we execute on our strategic initiatives, Capri Holdings is positioned to deliver multiple years of revenue and earnings growth."
