Tapestry (TPR) dropped sharply after reporting Q2 results, even though revenue grew 8.9% year on year and matched expectations, and full-year sales guidance and EBITDA both aligned with or exceeded analyst models.
That 24% drop has come after a steady slide, with the 90 day share price return down 16.69% and the year to date share price return down 9.55%, even as the 1 year total shareholder return is a positive 2.60%. This suggests that recent momentum for Tapestry has faded, while longer term holders still sit on very strong multi year gains.
