Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

GIII Stock
Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
**1. Strong Third-Quarter Fiscal 2026 Earnings**
G-III Apparel Group reported robust third-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ending October 31, 2025. The company's non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.90 significantly surpassed analyst consensus estimates of $1.61, beating by 17.9%. This positive earnings surprise, driven by strong gross margins and effective tariff mitigation strategies despite a revenue miss, contributed to a 10.3% surge in the stock price.
**2. Initiation of Quarterly Dividend Program**
On December 10, 2025, G-III Apparel's Board of Directors approved the company's first-ever quarterly cash dividend program, declaring an initial dividend of $0.10 per share. This strategic move, with the dividend payable on December 29, 2025, signals a new approach to capital utilization and generally enhances investor appeal.
**3. Positive Analyst Price Target Revisions**
Following the strong third-quarter earnings report, several investment firms updated their outlooks and raised price targets for G-III Apparel. UBS increased its price target to $32.00, KeyBanc to $35.00, and Telsey Advisory Group and BTIG both to $34.00. These revisions were based on the company's strong brand portfolio, robust bottom-line performance, and better-than-expected gross margin performance.
**4. Sustained Momentum in Owned Brands**
G-III Apparel continued to demonstrate strong performance through its strategic focus on expanding its owned brands, including DKNY, Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld, and Vilebrequin. These brands experienced double-digit sales increases and were key drivers of profitability and gross margin expansion. This growth helped to offset the anticipated decline in sales from expiring Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licenses.
**5. Restricted Stock Unit Awards to Key Executives**
As part of its succession planning and retention efforts, G-III Apparel Group granted one-time restricted stock unit awards to several senior leaders on December 11, 2025. Notably, Jeffrey Goldfarb, Executive Vice President, received an award with a grant date value of $5 million. These awards are intended to align executive incentives with the company's long-term shareholder interests and support future leadership.
