Q2 Earnings Outperformers: Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX) And The Rest Of The Apparel, Accessories and Luxury Goods Stocks

SFIX Cover Image

Wrapping up Q2 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the apparel, accessories and luxury goods stocks, including Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX) and its peers.

Within apparel and accessories, not only do styles change more frequently today than decades past as fads travel through social media and the internet but consumers are also shifting the way they buy their goods, favoring omnichannel and e-commerce experiences. Some apparel, accessories, and luxury goods companies have made concerted efforts to adapt while those who are slower to move may fall behind.

The 17 apparel, accessories and luxury goods stocks we track reported a slower Q2. As a group, revenues missed analysts’ consensus estimates by 1.4% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 12.6% below.

Big picture, the Federal Reserve has a dual mandate of inflation and employment. The former had been running hot throughout 2021 and 2022 but cooled towards the central bank's 2% target as of late. This prompted the Fed to cut its policy rate by 50bps (half a percent) in September 2024. Given recent employment data that suggests the US economy could be wobbling, the markets will be assessing whether this rate and future cuts (the Fed signaled more to come in 2024 and 2025) are the right moves at the right time or whether they're too little, too late for a macro that has already cooled.

In light of this news, apparel, accessories and luxury goods stocks have held steady with share prices up 2.5% on average since the latest earnings results.
