Ralph Lauren 's 50% rally in the past four months has gone too far, too fast, according to BMO Capital Markets, which downgraded the stock Friday to underperform. Siegel suspects the decline of North American margins may be due to increased marketing spending, supply chain pressures, and consumer questions regarding the average selling price of items. BMO questions whether the current level of Ralph Lauren shares—which are close to pandemic peaks—can be sustained, given the changes in consumer spending during 2021. Shares for Ralph Lauren fell 3.23% in Friday premarket trading following the call. Ralph Lauren reports results on February 9.

Changes in Ralph Lauren 's business make the clothing brand a good investment coming out of the pandemic, according to UBS. "We view RL as a strong turnaround stock," Sole said in a note to clients.

Ralph Lauren said its holiday quarter revenue would be hit by slowing demand in North America and Europe, where soaring energy costs are also pinching consumer wallets. Tapestry and Ralph Lauren also warned a stronger dollar would hit their earnings. Ralph Lauren shares, which have lost almost a quarter of their value this year, rose about 5% in premarket trading after the company beat second-quarter sales and profit expectations.

Investors are more than happy when politicians bicker but don’t actually enact any new laws that may hurt corporate profits. If Republicans get the House, tax hikes are dead in the water,” said David Wagner, a portfolio manager with Aptus Capital Advisors. That’s because there are some areas of consensus for the White House and Republican lawmakers. Congress and the White House may spend more time bickering than trying to pass legislation. Ameriprise chief market strategist Anthony Saglimbene said on a conference call last week about the midterms that stocks have historically gone up after elections, no matter which party controls the White House and Congress.

MEXICO CITY, 20 Oct (Reuters) - The wife of Mexico's president on Thursday accused luxury American clothes brand Ralph Lauren (RL.N) of plagiarizing indigenous designs, which she described as an appropriation of the work of the country's pre-Hispanic cultures.

Издание «Радио Свободная Европа/Радио Свобода в Европейском совете» (RFE/RL) со ссылкой на дипломатический источник сообщило, что ЕС включил Молдову в список стран, гражданам которых можно въезжать на территорию сообщества. Как сообщили в Twitter журналисты издания, постоянные представители стран-членов ЕС 30 июня включили в список третьих стран «зеленой зоны» более 10 стран, включая Молдову. Накануне «Радио Свободная Европа» сообщило, что председательство в ЕС предложило включить, в том числе Молдову, в список стран, граждане которых смогут въезжать в Шенгенскую зону, а также в Швейцарию, Норвегию, Исландию и Лихтенштейн. Согласно правилам, гражданам Молдовы необходимо будет на границе предоставить отрицательный тест на коронавирус или сертификат о вакцинации препаратом, зарегистрированным в ЕС. Однако, как отметили журналисты издания, это решение постпредов стран ЕС носит рекомендательный характер, и каждая страна, входящая в ЕС, может применять собственные правила въезда.

☆ «Expert-Grup»: Последствия отмены Закона о миллиарде будут аналогичны самой «краже миллиарда»

Закона о миллиарде, независимый аналитический центр «Expert-Grup» предупреждает о его крайне негативном влиянии на макрофинансовую стабильность и имидж страны перед потенциальными финансистами, кредиторами и инвесторами. Таким образом, последствия принятия такого закона могут быть аналогичны самой «краже миллиарда». Позиция основана на следующих выводах:• Прямым следствием отмены «закона о миллиарде» является декапитализация Национального банка Молдовы (НБМ), что создаст новое давление на государственный бюджет. Таким образом, согласно статье 9 «Закона № 548 о Национальном банке Молдовы», Правительство в лице Министерства финансов будет обязано внести денежный взнос на рекапитализацию центрального банка. Таким образом, отмена «закона о миллиарде» не снимает бремени этого долга с плеч населения и налогоплательщиков, поскольку центральный банк придется рекапитализировать с их счетов.

Tihanovskaia a cerut bielorușilor să folosească această sărbătoare - Ziua Libertății - pentru a organiza mitinguri de stradă împotriva liderului autoritar din Minsk și alte orașe din Belarus și pentru a-și declara unitatea împotriva crizei politice din Belarus. ”Belarușii sărbătoresc deja Ziua Libertății”, a scris Tihanovskaia ieri într-un tweet care arăta și un videoclip cu artificii în culorile roșu și alb ale opoziției. Amnesty International a avertizat că autoritățile din Belarus au indicat că sunt pregătite să transforme mitingurile de Ziua Libertății în „încă o scenă de violență îngrozitoare”. 25 martie este cea de-a 103-a aniversare a Republicii Populare Belaruse, care a existat mai puțin de un an în 1918
