Did TPR Beat Earnings? Q3 2026 Results
Tapestry delivered a blowout fiscal third quarter, posting non-GAAP EPS of $1.66 against a consensus estimate of $1.28, a 29.69% beat that extended the company's streak of exceeding analyst expectations to four consecutive quarters. Revenue of $1.92 billion rose 21.2% year over year, powered almost entirely by the Coach brand, which generated $1.70 billion in sales, a 31% reported increase fueled by handbag unit growth exceeding 20% and low-double-digit average unit retail gains. Gross margin expanded to 76.9% and non-GAAP operating margin widened 490 basis points to 22.4%, even as tariff and duty headwinds consumed roughly 180 basis points of gross margin. Geographic breadth was notable, with pro forma constant currency growth of 55% in Greater China and 20% in North America. Tapestry raised its full-year fiscal 2026 outlook meaningfully, guiding revenue to approximately $7.95 billion and non-GAAP EPS to approximately $6.95, representing over 35% earnings growth, with adjusted free cash flow expected to approach $1.60 billion.
