Published on 10/04/2026 at 20:15 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
VF Corporation (ISIN US9182041080) was last at USD 14.33 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 0.56 percent from the prior close. On October 1, Piper Sandler maintained a Hold rating and cut its price target from USD 18 to USD 16, according to Investing.com.
Fiscal Q1 exposed the earnings gap
VF reported fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of USD 1.67 billion, ahead of the USD 1.64 billion consensus estimate, but its adjusted loss of USD 0.27 per share was wider than the expected USD 0.22 loss, Investing.com reported. The revenue result exceeded estimates by USD 0.03 billion, while the adjusted EPS result missed by USD 0.05.
The latest quarterly figures show why the stock remains tied to execution rather than sales alone. VF also reported that revenue declined 5.2 percent year over year in fiscal Q1 2027, creating a clear contrast between the quarterly sales beat and the wider earnings loss.
Guidance rises while Vans weighs
VF raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to growth of 2 percent or better, according to Investing.com. Piper Sandler also highlighted a fiscal Q1 gross-margin expansion of 150 basis points excluding foreign-exchange effects, while pointing to ongoing challenges at Vans.
The analyst update gives the market a measurable test for the turnaround. Piper Sandler expects Vans sales in the second half of fiscal 2027 to decline 2 percent or better, a narrower contraction than the 9 percent decline reported for the first quarter.
