What Happened?
Shares of fashion conglomerate PVH (NYSE:PVH) jumped 6.3% in the afternoon session after an analyst from UBS reiterated a Buy rating on the stock while keeping the price target at $148.
The analyst expressed optimism due to PVH's own efforts, which were expected to drive significant long-term earnings growth. This positive view was maintained despite a difficult economic situation, especially in Europe. The company’s earlier reiteration of its third-quarter and fiscal year 2025 revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance further supported the analyst's confidence in the company's direction.

What Is The Market Telling Us
PVH’s shares are quite volatile and have had 15 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 4.9% on the news that comments from a key Federal Reserve official bolstered hopes for an interest rate cut. New York Federal Reserve President John Williams stated he sees “room for a further adjustment” in the near term, sparking a significant market rally. Following his remarks, the probability of the central bank cutting rates at its December meeting jumped from 39% to over 73%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. This positive sentiment provided relief to markets amid concerns over high valuations, particularly in AI-related stocks.
PVH is down 21.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $82.76 per share, it is trading 26.7% below its 52-week high of $112.86 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of PVH’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $976.89.
