Tapestry (TPR) Q2 2025 earnings

Shares of Coach parent Tapestry rose about 12% on Thursday after the company beat holiday-quarter sales expectations and boosted its full-year forecast.

The fashion and accessories company said it now expects full-year revenue of more than $6.85 billion, which would be about 3% higher than the prior year. It expects earnings per share of $4.85 to $4.90. It had previously forecast full-year revenue of more than $6.75 billion and full-year earnings per share of between $4.50 and $4.55.

Tapestry’s strong results come less than two months after it called off a merger with Capri, after planning to appeal the blocked deal. The agreement, which companies had fought for in court, would have married America’s two largest luxury houses and put six fashion brands under one company: Tapestry’s Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman with Capri’s Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors.

Tapestry’s results are also in sharp contrast to Capri’s. In Capri’s holiday quarter, which the company reported Wednesday, sales of Versace and Michael Kors tumbled by double digits. CEO John Idol took some of the blame, saying that the company had made missteps — including cutting lower-priced accessories that helped bring in newer customers.

In a CNBC interview on Thursday, Tapestry CEO Joanne Crevoiserat said consumers are still selective about spending, but Coach has won their business by delivering “innovation, relevance and value.”

“That’s what our brand-building principles are focused on,” she said. “We have confidence that these brand-building principles and our ability to connect with consumers, regardless of the environment, remains strong.”

Here is what Tapestry reported for the fiscal second quarter compared with Wall Street’s estimates, according to a survey of analysts by LSEG:

• Earnings per share: $2.00 adjusted vs. $1.75 expected
• Revenue: $2.20 billion vs. $2.11 billion expected

In the three-month period that ended Dec. 28, Tapestry’s net income decreased to $310.4 million, or $1.38 per share, from $322.3 million, or $1.39 per share, in the year-ago period. The company’s adjusted earnings per share figure excluded some one-time items, including an interest expense and a provision for income taxes.

Net sales rose to $2.20 billion from $2.08 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Coach remained the company’s top performer in the holiday quarter, with revenue up 11% year over year. Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman put up weaker results, with revenue declines of 10% and 15%, respectively.

On Tapestry’s earnings call Thursday, CFO Scott Roe said the company’s full-year guidance includes the impact an additional 10% tariff on goods imported from China into the U.S. beginning Feb. 4. He said that is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results, since it has very limited manufacturing in China.
