Investing.com - Morgan Stanley has reiterated an Overweight rating on Tapestry Inc. (NYSE:TPR) with a price target of $115.00, despite recent stock pressure following the company’s earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 75% and has demonstrated strong financial health with a "GOOD" overall rating.

The luxury goods company’s shares had enjoyed bullish positioning with over 40% gains since June and a valuation increase of 5.5 turns since May, creating high expectations heading into the earnings announcement. The stock’s remarkable YTD return of 75% and current P/E ratio of 25.2 suggest it may be trading above its Fair Value, according to InvestingPro analysis, which offers 18 additional valuable insights about TPR’s valuation and prospects.

Morgan Stanley noted that the market reaction follows a pattern seen with other high-quality earnings reports from companies like On Holding (NYSE:ONON) and Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL), which also faced pressured or less positive reactions than headline results might suggest.

The firm specifically highlighted that "the magnitude of tariff impacts likely comes as a surprise against management’s confident tone" from the previous quarter, suggesting this was a key factor in the stock’s performance.

Morgan Stanley also identified "de minimis termination" as an "underappreciated headwind" that affected Tapestry and could potentially emerge elsewhere in their coverage universe.
