VF Corporation stock was trading at USD 14.15 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026, up 3.36 percent from the prior session. September analyst updates placed published price targets between USD 14.00 and USD 15.00, keeping the fiscal 2027 recovery at the center of the investment case.
Fiscal Q1 revenue fell 5.2 percent
VF Corporation dates its first-quarter fiscal 2027 release to July 29, 2026. According to Zacks, revenue fell 5.2 percent year over year to USD 1.669 billion and missed the USD 1.674 billion consensus estimate.
The same report put adjusted loss at USD 0.27 per share, wider than the USD 0.25 loss a year earlier and below the USD 0.22 consensus loss. Wholesale revenue fell 10 percent, while direct-to-consumer revenue increased 2 percent, showing that channel mix remains an important counter-factor for the turnaround.
Guidance improved while Vans lagged
Zacks reported that VF raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to growth of 2 percent or better in constant currency, compared with prior guidance of 1 percent to 2 percent. The outlook depends on growth at The North Face, Timberland and Altra, while Vans was expected to decline at a mid-single-digit rate.
For investors, the combination is unusually clear: the top-line forecast improved, but the latest quarter still produced an adjusted loss and weaker wholesale demand. That leaves execution at the larger outdoor brands and the Vans recovery as the main operating tests.
Analyst targets stay close to the market
According to Investing.com, Deutsche Bank initiated coverage with a Hold rating and a USD 14.00 target on September 17, 2026, while Baird held a USD 15.00 target after a Hold downgrade dated September 14, 2026. The page lists a Neutral consensus and an average 12-month target of USD 18.33 from 22 analysts.
