Premium strategy leads to sharp profit rise for Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren has achieved a double-digit profit growth in all regions during the first half of 2025, thanks in part to price increases. The second half of the year will be more difficult due to the impact of import tariffs, the luxury company warns.

Well above expectations

In the first quarter, net profit rose 30.7 % to 220.4 million dollars (200 million euros), while adjusted earnings came in at 236 million dollars (210 million euros), or 3.77 dollars per share. That is nearly a quarter above the average analyst expectations. Revenue for the quarter went up 14 % to 1.7 billion dollars (1.5 billion euros).
