Read MoreHide Full Article
Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL - Free Report) is expected to register top-line growth when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2023 numbers on Nov 10, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues is pegged at $1.56 billion, which indicates growth of 3.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.07 per share, which suggests a decline of 21% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings has moved down 1.4% in the past 60 days.
The apparel and lifestyle products company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.3% in the last reported quarter. Its earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 34.9%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Ralph Lauren has been gaining from brand strength, solid demand, and expansion across all channels and regions. The company’s strategy of product elevation, acquisition of full-priced consumers, favorable channel and geographic mix, as well as ramping up of its targeting and personalization efforts, is likely to have supported AUR growth in the quarter under review.
The company’s focus on expanding digital and omni-channel capabilities via investments in mobile, omni-channel and fulfillment bode well. Strength across owned and wholesale digital channels globally is likely to have been a key growth driver. Some other notable efforts on the online front are virtual selling appointments, “buy online, pick up in store”, endless aisle product availability, the introduction of additional digital sites in key markets, investments in AI-powered targeting and consumer acquisition.
These factors, along with the company’s first-ever full catalog Ralph Lauren mobile app, are likely to have aided the top line in the quarter under review. On its last reported quarter’s earnings call, management expected year-over-year revenue growth of 11% at cc for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
However, Ralph Lauren has been reeling under the negative impacts of higher freight and marketing expenses, which are anticipated to have dented margins in the fiscal second quarter. Management, in its last reported quarter’s earnings report, predicted the gross margin to contract 40-80 bps year over year at cc in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Also, unfavorable currency fluctuations are likely to have been concerning. The company earlier expected the unfavorable currency to negatively impact revenues by 750 bps, the gross margin by 190 bps and the operating margin by 240 bps in the to-be-reported quarter. These are likely to have impacted the bottom-line performance in the said quarter.
