Company Overview

Originally founded as Coach, Tapestry (NYSE: TPR) is an American fashion conglomerate with a portfolio of luxury brands offering high-quality accessories and fashion products.

Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Regrettably, Tapestry’s sales grew at a weak 6.8% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmark for the consumer discretionary sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. Tapestry’s annualized revenue growth of 9.4% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, which is encouraging.

We can dig further into the company’s sales dynamics by analyzing its constant currency revenue, which excludes currency movements that are outside their control and not indicative of demand. Over the last two years, its constant currency sales averaged 10.1% year-on-year growth. Because this number aligns with its reported revenue growth, we can see that foreign exchange has not had a meaningful impact on topline.

This quarter, Tapestry grew its revenue by 8.9% year on year, and its $1.88 billion of revenue was in line with Wall Street’s estimates.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 6.1% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. This projection doesn’t excite us and implies its products and services will face some demand challenges.

Operating Margin

Operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses — everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It’s also useful for comparing profitability across companies with different levels of debt and tax rates because it excludes interest and taxes.

Tapestry’s operating margin has risen over the last 12 months and averaged 15.5% over the last two years. The company’s higher efficiency is a breath of fresh air, but its suboptimal cost structure means it still sports inadequate profitability for a consumer discretionary business.

This quarter, Tapestry generated an operating margin profit margin of 23.6%, up 57.4 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient.

Earnings Per Share

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Tapestry’s EPS grew at 18.8% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. On the bright side, this performance was better than its 6.8% annualized revenue growth and tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

In Q2, Tapestry reported adjusted EPS of $1.32, up from $1.04 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts’ estimates by 3.4%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Tapestry’s full-year EPS to grow 11.7% from $7.05 to $7.87.

Key Takeaways from Tapestry’s Q2 Results

Revenue was just in line with expectations. Looking ahead, full-year EPS was also in line. On the positive side, reported quarterly EPS beat. The market seemed to be hoping for more, and the stock traded down 7.6% to $141.97 immediately after reporting.

Is Tapestry an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock.
