Tapestry (TPR) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Read MoreHide Full Article

We expect Tapestry, Inc. (TPR - Free Report) to report year-over-year increases in both the top and the bottom line when it releases fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Aug 17, before market open.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has increased a penny to 96 cents per share over the past seven days. The same suggests an increase of about 23.1% from the year-earlier quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate of $1,667 million for quarterly revenues indicates growth of about 2.6% from the prior-year quarter’s tally.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 32.2%. Tapestry, which has announced plans to acquire Capri Holdings Limited, has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 11.7%, on average.

Factors to Note

A consumer-centric approach, omnichannel capabilities, brand strength and an emphasis on high-growth areas are likely to have benefited Tapestry’s fourth-quarter performance. Its Acceleration Program has been a major contributing factor as well. The company has been focused on deepening engagement with consumers, creating innovative and compelling products and expanding digital and data analytics capabilities.

On its last earnings call, management had envisioned revenues of $6.7 billion to grow 3% year over year at constant currency. The company had guided earnings per share in the band of $3.85-$3.90, representing low-double-digit growth year over year on an adjusted basis. Management forecasted earnings between $3.70 per share and $3.75 per share. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Coach and Stuart Weitzman brands are pegged at $1,249 million and $73 million, respectively. These estimates show year-over-year growth of 3.3% and 1.4%, respectively.

However, a tough operating environment and foreign exchange headwinds are likely to have been a spoilsport. Management had cited that the earnings per share view includes a currency headwind of approximately 40 cents. Meanwhile, any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses are likely to have been added deterrents.
