FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
"PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) is an apparel company that owns the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands globally. Most of PVH’s earnings come from Europe, where the Tommy and Calvin brands are considered “almost luxury” and where PVH has demonstrated high single digit organic growth w ith pricing power over the decade preceding Covid. CEO Stefan Larsson has done an excellent job revitalizing the company and improving margins at PVH’s moribund U.S. operations. But, comparable revenue has been roughly flat over the last four quarters as the company bumped into weaker global consumer spending and actively cleaned up its channel inventory in Europe. Investors are skittish about tariffs and, in 2025, PVH’s inclusion on China’s “Unreliable Entity” list which threatens the roughly 15% of the company’s profitability that comes from China. But PVH’s sales and sourcing are globally diversified, and the company uses its prodigious cash flow to buy back shares. We think shares are cheap at roughly 6x trailing earnings."
