Ralph Lauren: Telsey Advisory Group Raises PT to $335, Maintains Outperform Rating

Ralph Lauren Corporation (NYSE: RL) has seen a significant upgrade in its price target by Telsey Advisory Group, which has raised its estimate to $335 from $315. The analyst firm maintained its Outperform rating on the stock, reflecting a bullish outlook for the luxury fashion brand. This update comes on the heels of Ralph Lauren's strong Q1 2025 earnings report, which exceeded market expectations.

The latest earnings report revealed that Ralph Lauren reported $2.27 earnings per share (EPS) and revenue of $1.70 billion, an 8.3% increase year-over-year. The company also announced a $1.50 billion stock buyback program, indicating confidence in the stock's potential value. Additionally, Ralph Lauren increased its dividend, paying $0.9125 per share, which represents a $3.65 annualized dividend and a yield of 1.2%.

Institutional investors have shown interest in Ralph Lauren, with several major players increasing their stakes. Hantz Financial Services Inc., MassMutual Private Wealth & Trust FSB, Sentry Investment Management LLC, Banque Transatlantique SA, and Brooklyn Investment Group have all significantly increased their holdings in the company.

The move by Telsey Advisory Group to raise the price target to $335 suggests that the analyst firm believes Ralph Lauren has strong fundamentals and growth prospects. This optimism is supported by the company's recent financial performance and strategic initiatives. However, investors should consider the broader market conditions and other analyst ratings before making investment decisions.

Ralph Lauren's stock performance has been mixed in recent months, with the stock trading between $156.69 and $306.34 over the past year. The company's 50-day moving average is $281.71, and the 200-day moving average is $255.56. The stock's market cap stands at $18.25 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.06 and a beta of 1.53.

Overall, the upgrade by Telsey Advisory Group suggests that Ralph Lauren is poised for further growth, but investors should conduct their own thorough analysis before making any investment decisions.
