Michael Kors owner Capri soars after raising annual forecasts

What happened

Capri Holdings shares jumped over 19% on Friday after the luxury group raised its annual revenue and profit forecasts and said it expects sales to return to growth, helped by new collections and increased marketing.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

A higher forecast tells investors that Capri expects demand to recover after weak Michael Kors sales. If shoppers buy new collections, revenue and profit per sale can rise, supporting the share price recovery thesis.

Analyst inference

Capri's stock had a large one-day gain, suggesting investors were surprised by the improved outlook. The revenue forecast slightly beat analyst estimates, while the second-quarter profit per share of 42 cents exceeded the 21-cent estimate.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether third-quarter revenue trends improve and fourth-quarter sales return to growth, as management expects, driven by new product launches, holiday demand and increased marketing spending. Confirmed
2. Track Capri's fiscal year 2027 revenue target of $3.42 billion and annual profit target of $2.20 per share to see whether the raised forecasts are met. Proposed
3. Monitor Michael Kors revenue, which fell 8.6%, against Jimmy Choo revenue, which rose about 12%, to judge whether the biggest brand stabilizes. Analyst inference
