Operating income surge and asset sales drive revenue records
Tapestry reported record revenue of $8 billion for fiscal year 2026, reflecting a 14–17% year-on-year rise supported by strong gains at its Coach brand. Operating income more than tripled to $1.91 billion after the divestiture of Stuart Weitzman, and the operating margin expanded to over 23%. The company closed 64 stores and opened 72 new locations for Coach and Kate Spade, increasing its overall retail footprint. Shareholder returns reached $1.7 billion through dividends and share repurchases, with the dividend rising 16% to $1.85 per share.
Persistent bearish momentum with pockets of intraday volatility
TPR is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($149.08, $146.11, and $136.83), signaling persistent downside pressure across multiple timeframes. Immediate resistance is at $135.2, with support at $129.46. The overall trend remains bearish despite a longer-term bullish alignment between the 50-day and 200-day averages. Momentum indicators are weak, with both MACD and ADX giving neutral signals. Oversold conditions are confirmed by an RSI of 31.72, Stochastic RSI, and CCI, while negative Bull/Bear Power at -15.79 and a strong sell signal from the Awesome Oscillator reflect continued selling pressure. Intraday price strength is visible near the session high with volatility at 4.43%, in contrast to the negative momentum readings.
Earlier, analysts noted that Tapestry and its Coach brand were benefiting from a shift toward more formal, office-ready apparel and effective long-term brand repositioning. With TPR's technical setup showing persistent downside risk despite record financial results, traders should closely watch the $129.46 support level for signs of a renewed downturn.
