PVH
PVH's revenue rose 3.4% to $9.0 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 2.6%, down from 8.9% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $538 million, down 7.5%. It paid out $585 million in dividends and buybacks, 109% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 14.5%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

Valuation
Two ways to value PVH yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What PVH says to expect
- Third quarter 2026: non-GAAP EPS
EPS: Projected to be in a range of $2.50 to $2.65 on a non-GAAP basis compared to $2.83 on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year period.
- Third quarter 2026: non-GAAP operating margin
Operating margin: Projected to be approximately 7.5% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 8.8% on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year period.
- Full year 2026: non-GAAP EPS
EPS: Reaffirming outlook in a range of $11.80 to $12.10 on a non-GAAP basis compared to $11.40 on a non-GAAP basis in the prior year.
- Full year 2026: non-GAAP operating margin
Operating margin: Reaffirming outlook of approximately 8.8% on a non-GAAP basis, flat compared to 8.8% in the prior year.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from PVH's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from PVH's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $538M, net cash of −$1.6B at February 1, 2026 and 48 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to PVH: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, -0.3% a year, kept between 0% and 20%; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 13%: 11% for a cyclical or higher-risk business (Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $4.0B, plus 1 point for unsteady results (revenue fell in two of the last five years); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
- Last close, October 26, 2026

- Share of value from after year 10
How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and PVH's latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
