Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH), a leading apparel company with annual revenue of $8.77 billion and impressive gross margins of 60%, has been placed on China’s List of Unreliable Entities, as announced by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) on Monday. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has already declined over 9% in the past week on this news. This development follows a disclosure in PVH’s quarterly report last November, which mentioned an ongoing investigation under the Provisions on the List of Unreliable Entities (UEL Provisions).
The UEL Provisions allow for various punitive measures, including monetary fines and restrictions on import, export, and investment activities in China. Additionally, relevant personnel from the listed entities may face entry denials or restrictions on work and residence permits in China.
The specific measures to be imposed on PVH by MOFCOM remain undisclosed. However, the company has indicated that the impact could be significant, potentially hindering its ability to produce and sell goods in China or make investments there. Consequences for PVH may include charges related to excess inventory, challenges in collecting trade receivables, and potential non-cash impairment charges if the company cannot recover the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets.
PVH’s inclusion on the Unreliable Entities List marks a notable setback for the company’s operations in China, which is an important market for many global apparel firms. The full implications of this action on PVH’s business and financial performance are yet to be determined.
This news is based on the latest 8-K filing by PVH Corp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
