PVH Corp. (PVH) Stock Price & How to Invest
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
PVH Corp is the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, two brands that together generate over 95% of its ~$8.95 billion of annual revenue, and at roughly ~$82 the whole company is valued at about ~0.4x sales and under 7x its own fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance. Anyone looking at PVH is really weighing whether that discount is a permanent verdict on a wholesale-heavy apparel group with a China problem, or a temporary one on a business still guiding to roughly ~$12 of adjusted earnings per share.

What does PVH Corp. (PVH) do?
PVH Corp designs, sources, markets and sells apparel, footwear and accessories under two owned brands, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, plus a small Heritage Brands business that licenses names such as Van Heusen and Nike for certain categories. In fiscal 2025, the year ended February 1, 2026, revenue was ~$8.95 billion: Tommy Hilfiger contributed ~$4.77 billion (~53%), Calvin Klein ~$3.96 billion (~44%) and Heritage Brands only ~$215 million. Distribution is split almost evenly between wholesale (~$4.41 billion) and company-operated retail (~$4.12 billion, of which ~$772 million is owned digital commerce), with ~$421 million of licensing royalties on top. The selling base is about 1,350 free-standing stores and about 1,450 shop-in-shop and concession locations, run by roughly 26,000 associates across more than 40 countries. Geography matters more than most US investors assume: EMEA produced ~$4.34 billion of fiscal 2025 revenue (~49%), the Americas ~$3.06 billion (~34%) and APAC ~$1.55 billion (~17%), with US domestic revenue of only ~$2.58 billion, so this is a European company that happens to be listed in New York. Segments were recut into EMEA, Americas, APAC and Licensing at the start of fiscal 2025 to pair the two global brands with regional execution.
The investment picture is a valuation argument. About 46.1 million shares at ~$82 puts the market value near ~$3.8 billion against ~$9.0 billion of trailing revenue and management's own fiscal 2026 guidance of ~$11.80 to ~$12.10 in non-GAAP earnings per share. The market discounts it for reasons that are specific and documented rather than vague. PVH was placed on China's List of Unreliable Entities in February 2025 and, as of the quarterly report filed in June 2026, remains on it with no measures yet imposed, while China accounts for roughly 6% of revenue and roughly 20% of pre-impairment operating profit. Tariffs on goods entering the US are guided to cost about ~$195 million of gross operating profit in fiscal 2026, or roughly ~$3.30 per share, partly offset by mitigation and an expected ~$100 million of refunds. EMEA, the largest region, had its full-year outlook cut in June 2026 on the prolonged effects of the Middle East conflict. Reported GAAP results add to the confusion: fiscal 2025 GAAP earnings were just ~$0.52 per share because of a ~$480 million pre-tax noncash impairment taken in the first quarter, against ~$11.40 on a non-GAAP basis. Set against all that, the company produced ~$680 million of operating cash flow in fiscal 2025 and retired about 9% of its diluted share count.
What's driving PVH Corp. (PVH)?
1. The PVH+ Plan and the shift toward direct-to-consumer
PVH+ is the multi-year plan to run Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger as demand-driven global brands with regional commercial execution, and the clearest read on whether it is working is the channel split. In the quarter ended May 3, 2026, direct-to-consumer revenue rose ~6% (~3% in constant currency), with owned stores up ~5% and owned digital commerce up ~11%, while wholesale was flat and fell ~6% in constant currency. Management attributes the DTC growth to concentrating on a handful of hero categories, denim and underwear at Calvin Klein and sweaters and outerwear at Tommy Hilfiger, and DTC carries higher gross margin than wholesale, so the mix shift helps profitability even when total revenue is flat.
2. Gross margin, tariff refunds and the Growth Driver 5 cost program
Gross margin fell to ~57.5% in fiscal 2025 from ~59.4% the year before, with roughly 80 basis points of that from tariffs and roughly 50 basis points from moving previously licensed categories into a lower-margin wholesale business. Margin held flat at ~58.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and management guides to roughly 100 basis points of full-year improvement, built from about ~215 basis points of gross tariff drag offset by mitigation actions, lower product costs, favourable currency and about ~100 basis points from the expected ~$100 million of IEEPA tariff refunds. The Growth Driver 5 Actions, a restructuring program centralising processes and systems, supplies the SG&A savings that keep non-GAAP operating margin guided flat at ~8.8%.
3. A buyback that is large relative to the market value
PVH spent ~$578 million on repurchases in fiscal 2025, cutting diluted shares from ~51.1 million to ~46.4 million, roughly 9% of the count in a single year. Buying paused entirely in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, but the company says it expects to repurchase at least ~$300 million of stock for the full year, which is about 8% of the current ~$3.8 billion market value, and ~$1.212 billion of the board authorization remained available through July 2028 as of May 3, 2026. The dividend is deliberately token at ~$0.0375 per quarter, so essentially all shareholder return runs through the buyback.
4. Bringing licensed women's categories in-house
Licences granted to G-III Apparel Group for Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger women's products in the US and Canada expire on a staggered schedule running through 2026. PVH is directly operating a significant part of those businesses and re-licensing the rest, which adds revenue but at a cost: the transition contributed a ~1% net revenue increase and a ~50 basis point gross margin decline in fiscal 2025, with a similar ~50 basis point margin effect expected in fiscal 2026. Licensing revenue fell ~7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for the same reason, so the swap trades high-margin royalties for lower-margin wholesale sales that the company now controls.
What are the risks to PVH Corp. (PVH)?
The China listing is the overhang that has no timetable: MOFCOM placed PVH on the List of Unreliable Entities in February 2025 over Xinjiang cotton sourcing, no measures have been imposed as of the report filed in June 2026, and the potential remedies range from fines to bans on importing, exporting or investing in China, in a market supplying roughly 6% of revenue and roughly 20% of pre-impairment operating profit. EMEA, at about half of group revenue, was the reason full-year guidance came down in June 2026, with first-quarter EMEA revenue off ~5% in constant currency on the prolonged effects of the Middle East conflict. Tariff exposure is both large and unsettled: the outlook assumes a ~15% blended rate and a ~$195 million gross hit, and the company describes the offsetting ~$100 million of refunds as uncertain in amount and timing and dependent on processes outside its control, with the rate itself in flux after the Supreme Court ruling and the subsequent Section 122 executive order. The balance sheet leaves less room than the multiple suggests, with ~$2.28 billion of debt against ~$593 million of cash and a further ~$1.9 billion of operating lease liabilities on a ~$3.8 billion market capitalisation. Finally, after the June 3, 2026 guidance cut and a same-week analyst downgrade, several plaintiff firms including Schall, Bronstein Gewirtz & Grossman and Levi & Korsinsky publicly announced investigations into whether PVH misled investors; as of mid-August 2026 no securities class action complaint with a case number has been identified and PVH's own filings describe only ordinary-course litigation, and the chief financial officer post is currently held on an interim basis.
What is the PVH Corp. (PVH) forecast?

Is PVH a buy or a sell?
We give no verdict on PVH Corp.. Both cases are real, which is why the question is contested at all, so here is the strongest version of each.
The case for buying. The PVH+ Plan and the shift toward direct-to-consumer. PVH+ is the multi-year plan to run Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger as demand-driven global brands with regional commercial execution, and the clearest read on whether it is working is the channel split. The most optimistic published target, $128.00, assumes this works close to its best case.
The case against. The China listing is the overhang that has no timetable: MOFCOM placed PVH on the List of Unreliable Entities in February 2025 over Xinjiang cotton sourcing, no measures have been imposed as of the report filed in June 2026, and the potential remedies range from fines to bans on importing, exporting or investing in China, in a market supplying roughly 6% of revenue and roughly 20% of pre-impairment operating profit. The most pessimistic target, $70.00, is roughly what PVH is worth if this bites instead.

How is PVH Corp. (PVH) valued? (approximate, August 2026)
A simple financial snapshot. These are approximations and refresh quarterly; for current figures see PVH Corp.'s investor relations page or your broker.
- Q1 FY2026 Revenue (13 weeks ended May 3, 2026): ~$2.03 billion, up ~2% reported and down ~2% in constant currency
- Q1 FY2026 EPS: ~$1.90 GAAP and ~$2.01 non-GAAP, above the ~$1.65 to ~$1.80 guided
- Revenue (TTM): ~$9.0 billion
- FY2026 Non-GAAP EPS Guidance: ~$11.80 to ~$12.10, versus ~$0.52 GAAP and ~$11.40 non-GAAP in FY2025
- Gross Margin: ~58.6% in Q1 FY2026, flat year over year, after ~57.5% for FY2025
- Net Debt: ~$1.7 billion (~$2.28 billion of debt less ~$593 million of cash), plus ~$1.9 billion of operating lease liabilities
At roughly ~$82 a share on about 46.1 million shares, the ~$3.8 billion market value equals about ~0.4x trailing revenue and under 7x the midpoint of the company's own FY2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance. Screens disagree wildly on this one because GAAP earnings collapsed to ~$0.52 per share in FY2025 on a ~$480 million pre-tax noncash impairment recorded in the first quarter of that year, while the non-GAAP figure was ~$11.40. Adding net debt, enterprise value of roughly ~$5.5 billion sits near ~7x the ~$790 million of operating profit implied by the ~8.8% non-GAAP margin guide, so the sub-1x sales multiple reflects thin margins and geopolitical risk rather than a business that cannot earn money.
Who competes with PVH Corp. (PVH)?
Global branded apparel groups
Ralph Lauren, VF Corporation, Levi Strauss, Kontoor Brands, Guess, Hanesbrands and Hugo Boss compete for the same premium and mid-tier wardrobe positions and the same department store and specialty shelf space. Ralph Lauren is the closest structural comparison, a two-region wholesale-plus-retail lifestyle brand owner, and the valuation gap between the two is the single sharpest framing of what the market thinks of PVH's brand health and its China exposure. G-III Apparel Group is a special case, a long-time PVH licensee that is now losing those Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger women's licences as PVH brings the categories in-house.
Athletic and casual brands taking wardrobe share
Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, On Holding and Under Armour do not sell dress shirts, but they compete directly for the everyday casual spend that Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein depend on, and they set the pace on product innovation cadence and marketing spend. PVH also licenses the Nike name for certain Heritage Brands categories, so the relationship runs both ways. The category shift toward athleisure over the past decade is a structural reason the sportswear-adjacent parts of PVH's assortment have to keep proving relevance.
Fast fashion and value retail
Inditex (Zara), H&M, Uniqlo and Shein compete on speed and price in exactly the European markets that supply about half of PVH's revenue, and they have consistently taken share from mid-priced branded apparel in downturns. Off-price retailers such as TJX and Ross Stores act as both competitors and clearing channels, absorbing excess branded inventory in ways that can pressure full-price selling. The promotional intensity of this group is what shows up in PVH's own commentary as an increased promotional environment weighing on gross margin.

PVH is priced as if the brands are worth less than half a year of sales, so the case for and against it both turn on the same three unresolved items: the China listing, the tariff bill, and European demand.

FAQ
What brands does PVH Corp actually own?
+
PVH owns two brands outright, TOMMY HILFIGER and Calvin Klein, and they produced over 95% of fiscal 2025 revenue. The rest is the Heritage Brands business, roughly ~$215 million, where PVH licenses names such as Van Heusen and Nike from third parties for particular categories. The old Heritage portfolio has largely been sold off: the Van Heusen and related men's business went in 2021 and the Warner's, Olga and True&Co intimates business was sold in November 2023, which is why PVH today is essentially a two-brand company.
Is PVH still on China's unreliable entity list?
+
Yes. MOFCOM opened its investigation in September 2024, issued a preliminary finding in January 2025 that PVH had violated normal market trading principles, and placed the company on the List of Unreliable Entities in February 2025 over its handling of Xinjiang cotton sourcing. In the quarterly report filed on June 5, 2026, PVH stated that it remains on the list, that it does not know if or when MOFCOM will implement any measures, and that no measures have been imposed to date. Potential measures under the UEL Provisions include fines, restrictions on import, export or investment activity in China, and entry or work-permit restrictions on personnel, so the overhang is unresolved rather than cleared.
Why does PVH trade at less than half a times sales?
+
Three things compress the multiple at once. Operating margin is thin, at ~8.8% on a non-GAAP basis and only ~2.6% on a GAAP basis in fiscal 2025 after a ~$480 million impairment. Roughly half of revenue comes from EMEA, where the outlook was cut in June 2026, and about 6% of revenue plus about 20% of pre-impairment operating profit comes from a China business under an unresolved government listing. Layer on ~$1.7 billion of net debt and ~$1.9 billion of lease liabilities against a ~$3.8 billion market value and the equity is a fairly small slice of a leveraged, geopolitically exposed enterprise, which is what the ~0.4x sales multiple is expressing.
How is PVH's revenue split between Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger?
+
In fiscal 2025 Tommy Hilfiger generated ~$4.77 billion and Calvin Klein ~$3.96 billion, so the split is roughly 53% to 44% with Heritage Brands making up the remaining ~2%. Growth has been close between them recently: in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 Tommy Hilfiger revenue rose ~3% and Calvin Klein ~1% as reported, though both were negative in constant currency, down ~2% and ~3% respectively. Currency, not underlying demand, is doing most of the work in the reported brand numbers right now.
Which regions actually drive PVH's results?
+
EMEA is the largest by a wide margin, at ~$4.34 billion of fiscal 2025 revenue and ~$749 million of segment operating profit at a ~17.5% margin. The Americas contributed ~$3.06 billion at a ~9.2% margin and APAC ~$1.55 billion at a ~19.3% margin, with Licensing adding ~$421 million of high-margin royalties. Over 70% of revenue is generated outside the United States and is subject to currency translation, which is why management quantifies an expected ~$125 million revenue benefit from currency in 2026 and reports every growth figure twice.
What is the PVH+ Plan?
+
PVH+ is the company's multi-year strategic plan to build Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into what management calls the most desirable lifestyle brands in their sector, executed through a demand-driven and data-driven operating model that pairs the two global brands with regional commercial teams. The reporting segments were recut into EMEA, Americas, APAC and Licensing at the start of fiscal 2025 to match that structure. In practice it shows up as concentrated product bets on a few hero categories, larger seasonal marketing campaigns, store and shop-in-shop renovations, and a cost program called the Growth Driver 5 Actions that centralises back-office processes to fund the brand spending.
How are tariffs affecting PVH's gross margin?
+
The fiscal 2026 outlook assumes a blended rate of about 15% on goods entering the US and a gross hit of about ~$195 million to operating profit, equivalent to roughly ~$3.30 per share or about ~215 basis points of gross margin, partly offset by sourcing and pricing mitigation. Working the other way, PVH expects to record about ~$100 million of refunds on IEEPA tariffs already paid, worth roughly ~$1.70 per share and about ~470 basis points of margin in the second quarter alone, though the company flags the amount and timing as outside its control. Net of all that, full-year gross margin is guided up roughly 100 basis points and non-GAAP operating margin is guided flat at ~8.8%.
How much debt does PVH carry, and is it still buying back stock?
+
As of May 3, 2026 the company held ~$2.28 billion of debt, dominated by euro-denominated senior notes (600 million euros at 3.125% due 2027 and 525 million euros at 4.125% due 2029), against ~$593 million of cash, for net debt of roughly ~$1.7 billion, plus about ~$1.9 billion of operating lease liabilities. On buybacks, PVH spent ~$578 million in fiscal 2025 and took diluted shares from ~51.1 million to ~46.4 million, then repurchased nothing in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 while saying it expects at least ~$300 million for the full year. About ~$1.212 billion of the ~$5.0 billion board authorization remained available through July 2028.
