- Although they cut their price target on Tapestry, Yih said that Barclays's quarterly handbag promotion tracker shows the company's Coach and Coach Outlet brands are "executing flawlessly," implying another quarter of gross margin upside driven by full price selling.
- Overall, the analyst added, Tapestry is one of the retailers best positioned to navigate tariff disruption because of its strong margins and pricing power.
