Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on VF Corp. (NYSE: VFC), PT $110.
Barclays analyst says, "As announced on its Analyst Day in March 2011, VF Corp expects to add $5 B in revenues over the next five years, including $3 B from Outdoor & Action Sports, $1 B from Jeanswear, and $1 B from Sportswear, Imagewear, and Contemporary. Of the $3 B increase expected from Outdoor & Action Sports, $1.5 B is expected from the North Face, $900 mm from Vans, $300 mm from Kipling and Napapijri, and another $300 mm from other brands. This increase would take the Outdoor & Action Sports coalition to 50% of revenues by 2015 from 42% in 2010."
"China is the company's fastest growing, most profitable market with a $1 B
opportunity (28% 5 year CAGR). India grew 60% in 2010, and 80% in 1Q11...Planned pricing increases have worked as expected so far this year. Larger price increases will appear at retail on July 1...Inventory levels at VFC are right on plan, up 24% at the end of 1Q11. The increase is due to plans for buying extra denim, FX translation, overall cost of goods increases, and sales growth plans."
