What 20 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Ralph Lauren

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey maintains Ralph Lauren (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) with a Outperform and maintains $315 price target.

As tariff concerns mount, BofA Securities highlights rising caution across specialty retail and department store<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> stocks despite solid first quarter earnings</a>.
BofA Securities notes that most specialty retail and department store stocks appear to have priced in the current 10% universal and 30% China tariffs.
The firm cautions that any further increases — particularly involving Vietnam, a key player in apparel and footwear production — could drive estimated cuts across much of the group.
Analysts note that while first-quarter earnings were largely solid and the consumer has remained resilient, management teams are increasingly uneasy about the second half due to uncertainty over the potential consumer impact of tariffs.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45830194/experiential-retail-is-transforming-american-malls-with-pet-groomers-and-doggy-daycare-iv-drips-and-specialty-grocers" rel="noreferrer noopener">Experiential Retail Is Transforming American Malls With Pet Groomers And Doggy Daycare, IV Drips, And Specialty Grocers</a>
This caution is reflected in more conservative sales outlooks across the sector.
With earnings season wrapped, the focus has shifted toward tariff policy. Apparel and footwear brands have moved much of their production out of China, making Southeast Asia the next key concern.
Recent conversations with executives suggest that a 10% tariff is manageable, with garment OEMs like Makalot and Eclat expecting the cost to be split roughly 2.5% each between themselves and fabric mills, and 5% absorbed by brands, BofA Securities notes.
Some unexpected takeaways emerged this earnings season, including Ross Stores, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROST#NASDAQ">ROST</a>) decision to withdraw guidance and Gap, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GAP#NYSE">GAP</a>) significant margin exposure to tariffs.
Analysts see Ross's move as overly cautious rather than a red flag. Meanwhile, Gap's projected 150 basis-point margin hit in the second half implies minimal room for price hikes — a sensible strategy given Old Navy's budget-conscious customer base.
For Levi Strauss &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEVI#NYSE">LEVI</a>), the analyst writes that tariffs will begin impacting gross margins in the third quarter, and Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) sees tariffs to be more impactful to gross margin in the second half.

BofA Securities Warns Tariffs Could Still Weigh On Retail Stocks Such As Gap, Ralph Lauren

Shares of apparel companies are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July.

Shares of Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>) came under pressure, despite the company Thursday reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45591404/ralph-lauren-analysts-boost-their-forecasts-after-upbeat-q4-results">upbeat fiscal fourth-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
JPMorgan On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586bcbd9351b9b0001ab738c/matthew-boss">Analyst Matthew Boss</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $342 to $355.
Ralph Lauren reported quarterly earnings of $2.27 per share, beating Street expectations of $2.00 per share, driven by 10.4% revenue growth in constant currency terms, which came in higher than management's 6%-7% guidance, Boss said in a note. The company's adjusted gross margins expanded by 210 basis points (bps) to 68.7%, he added.
Management indicated that there has not been "any slowdown in any region globally to date through May," without even a single cancelation from any wholesale partner, the analyst stated. The company's preliminary fiscal 2026 guidance "embeds a 100bp+ headwind from tariffs by our math," he further wrote.

Goldman Sachs On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $262 to $324.
Ralph Lauren delivered a "broad-based" beat in the quarter on the back of "continued brand momentum, product execution, and margin delivery," Roach said. The results were healthy, especially given elevated expectations, he added.
Management's fiscal 2026 outlook calls for low-single-digit ex-FX growth, with first-quarter guidance ahead of expectations and some operating margin expansion, the analyst stated. "Within this, the company is taking a more cautious view on 2H amidst macro uncertainty and potential tariff-related pressures, particularly in North America," he further wrote.
Telsey Advisory Group On Ralph Lauren
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5888c53977f9dd0001877a22/dana-telsey">Analyst Dana Telsey</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $315.
Ralph Lauren's earnings beat was driven by strong sales and gross margins, Telsey said. The company generated comps growth and operating margin expansion across all three regions, she added.
Management's first-quarter revenue guidance came in ahead of current expectations, despite macro uncertainty, the analyst stated. "We continue to believe that RL has the right strategies in place to deliver topline growth off a stronger foundation with gross margin leverage and expanding operating margins while continuing to invest in the long-term health of the business," she further wrote.
RL Price Action: Shares of Ralph Lauren had declined by 1.19% to $274.12 at the time of publication on Friday.

Ralph Lauren shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 financial results.

Wall Street edges higher as GOP tax bill clears the House and bond yields ease, helping investors shake off prior losses while digesting mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45567476/us-business-activity-rebounds-in-may-but-tariff-fueled-inflation-surges-at-fastest-pace-in-3-years">May business activity data.</a>
President Donald Trump's "one big beautiful tax bill" narrowly passed the House in a 215-214 vote and now moves to the Senate. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the proposed legislation is projected to add approximately $3 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade.
U.S. Treasury yields saw a whipsaw session, with the 30-year bond yield initially spiking to 5.15% before retreating by 9 basis points to 5.06% by midday in New York. The reversal in long-term rates signaled renewed investor appetite for long-duration bonds amid attractive yields.
Wednesday's sharp rise in yields had triggered a broad afternoon selloff in equities, but Thursday's pullback eased pressure on risk assets and improved investor sentiment.
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.3% to 5,860 on Thursday, slightly recouping losses from the previous session. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 0.7% gain.
Technology and consumer discretionary stocks led gains, riding momentum from falling yields. In contrast, defensive sectors like utilities and healthcare lagged. 
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) is on track to snap a three-day losing streak, supported by stronger-than-expected Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data for May. While the surveys pointed to solid growth, they also revealed renewed inflationary pressures, which tempered hopes for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Markets now fully price in a 25-basis-point rate cut only by December 2025, compared to prior expectations of an October move, based on CME Group's FedWatch Tool.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) extended its 2025 rally, jumping 2% above $111,000 to set fresh all-time highs. The world's largest cryptocurrency is now up 20% year-to-date. 
Gold prices, however, fell 0.7% to trade below $3,200 per ounce. Despite Thursday's drop, the precious metal has surged 25% so far in 2025, outperforming other major asset classes, continuing to attract inflows amid sticky inflation and uncertain fiscal policy paths.
