Q2 Outperformance Masks Regional Headwinds for PVH Corp. (PVH)
PVH Corp. (PVH) reported Q2 revenue of $2.097B, down 3% YoY, matching guidance. Adjusted operating margins rose to 11.1%, beating estimates, partly due to $107M in tariff refunds. EPS was $3.70, exceeding the $3.00-$3.10 range. EMEA revenue fell 6% due to weak consumer spending, while Americas saw a 1% decline. Management reaffirmed full-year guidance, citing confidence in the PVH+ Plan and DTC growth.
