Ralph Lauren has lower exposure to near-term macro risks than its peers, such as "tariffs, department store slowdown, and the health of the lower-income consumer," she added.
Improving execution of key strategic initiatives could continue driving earnings growth, the analyst stated.
"More recently, we have seen a pullback in valuations across the apparel sector due to macro uncertainty and market volatility, which we believe presents a buying opportunity for companies demonstrating limited signs of slowdown even amidst an increasingly volatile macro backdrop, such as RL," Roach further wrote.
