Tapestry (NYSE:TPR) Announces Dividend Of US$0.35 Per Share; Stock Surges 20%

Coach, a marquee brand under Tapestry (NYSE:TPR), recently revealed its Fall 2025 collection at a high-profile New York City event, focusing on modern American classics and sustainability—key themes that resonate well with current consumer preferences. Coupled with product innovations, these factors may have supported Tapestry's share price increase of 20% over the last quarter. Additionally, the company declared a dividend of $0.35 per share and unveiled optimistic corporate guidance, reflecting operational gains and an active share repurchase program. Despite a slight decline in net income, sales were up year-over-year, suggesting resilience amid a mixed market environment where major indices like the S&P 500 posted a three-week decline. Broader economic stability, as indicated by recent comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reassuring that the economy remains strong, further buoyed investor confidence in equities, including Tapestry’s stock.
