Goldman Sachs reiterated its Conviction Buy List rating and $200 price target on Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL) citing near-term margin opportunity.

The firm said they continue to prefer brands to boxes and the Ralph Lauren brand "should deliver margin-accretive growth in the near and long term." Despite the recent upswing in the stock, Goldman said the risk/reward remains compelling on the near-term margin recovery opportunity and long-term global growth potential.

"While RL's valuation of 22X gives pause to some investors, we believe current EPS estimates understate the true near-term and long-term EPS potential and therefore the stock is more compelling than it seems," the analyst commented.
