☆ UBS says PVH can rally more than 35% as Tommy Hilfiger parent transforms its business

The fashion company behind brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger should be in vogue for investors heading into 2023, UBS said Thursday. He said the market is too focused on macro and foreign exchange challenges to understand how PVH can drive relative outperformance compared to competitors. The main driver of its performance will be the "PVH+ Plan," which has the goal of making its brands premium, direct-to-consumer and global that move out of wholesale. On a more technical level, Sole said the company is also a top pick because of its "very attractive valuation." But he said fundamentals would improve along with the stock value, as the PVH+ Plan would help bring the operating margin up to 15% in 2025 from 8.5% in the 2022 fiscal year.
