PVH (PVH, Financial) experienced significant gains recently, with the stock price surging by 18.24%. This upswing was primarily driven by the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, which outperformed market expectations.
In its latest earnings report, PVH reported a non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share of $3.27 on revenue of $2.37 billion, surpassing Wall Street's estimates of $3.19 per share on sales of $2.33 billion. Despite a year-over-year revenue decline of 5%, largely due to currency-exchange impacts, the results were positively received due to enhanced margins and strong performance from its iconic Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands.
Looking forward, PVH anticipates its sales to remain stable or see a slight increase for the upcoming fiscal year, as compared to 2024. The company projects adjusted earnings per share between $12.40 and $12.75, compared to $11.74 per share last year. To enhance shareholder value, PVH has announced a $500 million accelerated stock buyback program, aiming to reduce the number of shares outstanding and consequently bolster earnings by distributing profits over fewer shares.
PVH's stock, currently priced at $76.43, is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PVH. The company is classified in the Consumer Cyclical sector and specializes in apparel manufacturing. Notably, PVH's stock is currently valued with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.89 and a price-to-book (PB) ratio of 0.8, both close to their two-year lows, indicating a potentially attractive valuation for investors.

Additionally, the company's return on assets (ROA) stands at 6.41%, supported by a cash flow growth of 106.8% over the past year.
