Tapestry, Inc. TPR
Tapestry, Inc. scores good on business quality (7.2 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Tapestry, Inc. does
Tapestry designs and sells luxury accessories and branded apparel, generating $8.0B in revenue primarily through iconic handbag labels like Coach paid for by fashion-conscious consumers worldwide. The company is leaning heavily into direct-to-consumer digital channels and localized marketing to drive customer engagement and expand margins.
- What it does best
Tapestry converts raw materials into luxury goods at an elite gross margin of 77.8%, comfortably outpacing peers like Ralph Lauren at 70.3%. This pricing power stems from decades of brand equity and strict control over global distribution channels.
- The main risk
Carrying $2.4B in total debt against $1.2B in cash leaves the balance sheet vulnerable to sudden consumer spending pullbacks or macro shocks. Debt obligations limit aggressive capital allocation if retail demand softens.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin hits 24.1% and free cash flow margin lands in the 94th sector percentile, driven by high-margin direct sales that scale efficiently.
The brand intangible asset moat locks in global consumers through pricing power, reflected in a gross margin sitting in the top decile of its sector at the 97th percentile.
Revenue growth accelerated to 14.2% over the latest period, jumping from $7.0B to $8.0B and outpacing its historical multi-year flat trend.
Debt-to-equity sits at 3.4x while interest coverage is a manageable 16.2x, supported by $1.8B in free cash flow that signals improving cash generation.
