RALPH LAUREN: MORE STYLE THAN SUBSTANCE

摘要

Ralph Lauren Corp. (RL), the global apparel and lifestyle retailer focusing on three segments; wholesale, retail and licensing, is suffering from severe performance declines from 2015, making it a ripe candidate for shorting. The company, which was founded in 1967 and operates 493 retail locations and an additional 583 sub-retail facilities, ranks as one of the most iconic brands in the world. However, while RL's cache may be still intact, its overall operating margin continues to contract.
