Tariffs are "expected to have an immaterial impact" on Tapestry's fiscal 2025 results because of its current inventory and shipping schedule.
Shares of Tapestry (TPR) rose Thursday after the owner of fashion brands reported better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter results and lifted its full-year outlook.
The Coach and Kate Spade parent posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.03 on revenue of $1.58 billion. Analysts polled by Visible Alpha expected $0.88 and $1.53 billion, respectively.
Tapestry lifted its full-year revenue forecast to $6.95 billion, which would represent growth of about 4% year-over-year, up from approximately 3% growth it previously projected. EPS is seen coming in at $5.00, up from the prior range of $4.85 to $4.90.
Tariffs 'Expected to Have an Immaterial Impact' in Fiscal 2025
The company said the outlook includes the expected tariffs as of April 10, a 145% tariff on Chinese goods, and 10% on all other imports. Because of Tapestry's current inventory and shipping plans, the tariffs are "expected to have an immaterial impact on Fiscal 2025 results."
The third quarter was Tapestry's first full period since it and Versace owner Capri Brands (CPRI) called off their planned merger after a judge ruled that it likely would be anti-competitive and lead to higher prices for consumers.
Tapestry shares were up 2.5% Thursday morning after rising nearly 7% earlier in the session. They are 17% higher since the start of the year.
