  • High Growth Projections, But a Bit Unrealistic

    By Matthew Frankel - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: KORS, RL, JNY

    Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) is one of the leading fashion brands, and has been for some time now.  Even with its success, the company still manages to grow its revenues at a fairly rapid pace, with annual sales nearly tripling from $2.4 billion a decade ago to almost $6.9 billion last year. What I’m curious about is whether all of the potential growth and good news is more »

  • Is it Time to Invest in this Watchmaker?

    By Leo Sun - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, MOV

    Shares of Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) recently rallied strongly, after the Richardson, Texas-based watch and accessory retailer reported first quarter earnings that showed robust double-digit top and bottom line growth from the previous year. Fossil is often considered a bellwether of the affordable fashion industry, so should investors take Fossil’s earnings beat as a cue to start investing in other fashion stocks, such as Movado (NYSE: MOV), Michael Kors (NYSE: KORSmore »)

  • Fashion Watches Are Growing Fast: What's The Best Play?

    By Matthew Frankel - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: FOSL, KORS, MOV

    Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) has grown tremendously in the 29 years since its founding.  Even over the past decade, the company’s revenues have more than tripled from $781 million to over $3 billion expected this year.  What stood out to me when researching Fossil was the low valuation relative to the growth rate of the company, so I decided to investigate a little more and see if Fossil might be more »

    By Anh HOANG - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: COH, FNP, KORS

    Barry Rosenstein has been quite successful with his value-oriented, event driven investment firm, Jana Partners. Last year, the Jana Master Fund delivered a return of 24.2%. Barry Rosenstein stated that Jana Partners looked for basic industry companies which were cheap and possessed some potential catalysts, including restructuring, spin-offs, and recapitalizations.

    Recently, Jana Partners expressed its belief that Fifth & Pacific (NYSE: FNP) should be worth around $28 per share after more »

  • This Fashionable Company Is a Good Pick Now

    By Anh HOANG - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: COH, KORS, VRA

    An investment opportunity arises when a beaten down stock begins to pick up due to an improvement in its business. A stock might be beaten down because of various reasons: deteriorating fundamental performance, heavy insider selling, weak overall industry performance, earnings miss, etc. However, when those temporary problems are corrected and the business improves, it might be the time for opportunistic investors to come in.

  • 3 Fashion Companies Expanding in China That Offer Sexy Returns

    By Jayson Derrick - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: COH, GPS, KORS

    I'm going to make a very bold statement here--soon China will dictate global fashion and will have more influence than Paris, Milan, and New York City will. Obviously, this isn’t happening this year, nor will it happen next year, but given the macro and micro economic factors that will drive China’s growth coupled with the country's billion-plus population, fashion companies are already paying very close attention more »

When every other teenie-bopper walks by with a premium-brand handbag, with names like Coach (NYSE: COH) and Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS), perhaps further investigation is warranted.

    By Andrés Cardenal - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: COH, KORS, RL, TIF

    It hasn´t been a great year for Coach (NYSE: COH), the company has reported uninspiring numbers over the last quarters, and the stock has fallen by more than 30% over the last year.
