In other recent news, Oxford Industries reported its first-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings, revealing an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.82, which fell short of the expected $1.98. However, the company’s revenue exceeded forecasts, reaching $393 million against a projected $383.54 million. Despite the revenue beat, the company lowered its fiscal 2025 earnings guidance significantly due to increased tariff costs, with the new EPS guidance set between $2.80 and $3.20 per share. Oxford Industries faces challenges due to its high exposure to China, which accounts for 40% of its sourcing, leading to vulnerability amid tariff increases. Analyst firms UBS and Citi have both lowered their price targets for Oxford Industries, citing concerns over tariffs and ongoing topline challenges. UBS reduced its price target to $48 and maintained a Neutral rating, while Citi lowered its target to $44 and kept a Sell rating. Both firms highlighted the impact of tariffs on margins, with Citi noting the company’s challenging macroeconomic environment and investment year pressures. Despite these challenges, Oxford Industries remains focused on its brand portfolio, including Tommy Bahama and Lilly Pulitzer, and is working on mitigating the impact of tariffs.
