Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods is in contraction. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Expand operating margin to at least 8%: Comparison needs review.
View ThesisMiddle-of-the-pack management execution.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 13% growth a year, above the roughly 2% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 41% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskVFC depends on restoring revenue growth and widening margins, led by Vans stabilization. Revenue fell 4% year over year in Q2 FY2027, despite an earnings beat. Management raised fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to at least 2% growth. VFC trades at 27× P/E versus the 15× peer median. Expectations look full because the market prices more growth than our forecast. The primary margin pillar needs review, so the comparison remains unverified. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 21%. Peer multiples imply a price about 13% below where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. VFC is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
