Tapestry stock rises after a stronger Q4 and buyback plan
Published on 08/18/2026 at 20:13 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Tapestry Inc. (US8760301072) is trading higher after August 13, 2026 results showed $1.32 in quarterly EPS on $1.88 billion in revenue, both ahead of estimates, while the stock last closed at $129.02 on August 17, 2026 and traded at $134.15 by August 18, 2026 2:11 p.m. EDT.
The same update also lifted the quarterly dividend 16% to $0.4625 per share and set a $1.35 billion buyback plan for fiscal 2027, giving the stock a second catalyst beyond the earnings beat. The current move is anchored by a 52-week range of $93.00 to $164.80 and market capitalization of $25.61 billion.
What changed in the quarter
The earnings print matters because the company reported $1.32 per share versus $1.28 expected, a $0.04 beat, while revenue rose 8.9% year over year from $1.04 billion in the same quarter last year. Net margin reached 19.09%, and return on equity stood at 254.95%, two figures that keep the latest quarter unusually strong versus the prior-year base.
That combination helps explain why the market is focusing on capital returns instead of only the recent growth slowdown. Tapestry also said fiscal 2027 sales are expected in the $8.4 billion to $8.5 billion range, while market commentary around the stock has centered on a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of $175.13.
Guidance and valuation
The forecast gap is still wide enough to matter. A $175.13 consensus target sits 36.3% above the $128.44 reference price shown in one market snapshot, and the stock traded at 17.62 times trailing earnings in that same view.
For investors, the mix of an 8.9% revenue increase, a $1.32 EPS print and a $1.35 billion repurchase plan creates a more balanced setup than a pure growth story. The next test is whether fiscal 2027 revenue can land inside the stated $8.4 billion to $8.5 billion band.
Coach remains the key brand
Coach is still the central product engine inside Tapestry's portfolio, with handbags, leather goods and accessories carrying most of the brand's visible demand. That brand mix is the main reason the latest quarter can matter even when Kate Spade remains a softer part of the portfolio.
Stock and trading data
The stock closed at $129.02 on August 17, 2026 and was quoted at $134.15 on August 18, 2026 2:11 p.m. EDT, after trading between $126.95 and $130.00 in the most recent regular session. Tapestry's market capitalization was listed at $25.61 billion in that market view.

More on Tapestry stock
Tapestry stock reflects a company that is still built around Coach, but now also carries a stronger cash-return profile after the August 13, 2026 update. The earnings beat, 16% dividend increase and $1.35 billion buyback plan leave the next quarter's execution as the clearest swing factor.
