In other recent news, VF Corp reported mixed results in its latest earnings report, with revenues aligning with expectations and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) surpassing projections. Despite these positive outcomes, the company faced challenges with its Vans brand, which saw a significant decline in sales, impacting overall performance. Analysts from BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Exane, Stifel, BMO Capital Markets, Truist Securities, and Needham have all adjusted their price targets for VF Corp, reflecting these developments.
BNP Paribas Exane and Truist Securities maintained their Neutral and Hold ratings, respectively, but reduced their price targets significantly, citing concerns over the company’s free cash flow and the ongoing Vans brand reset. Stifel and Needham, while reducing their price targets, maintained Buy ratings, expressing optimism about VF Corp’s long-term prospects despite short-term hurdles.
