Ralph Lauren reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 diluted earnings per share of $4.28 on August 6, 2026, up 22% year over year and above the $4.05 analyst estimate. Revenue rose 14% year over year to roughly $1.96 billion, with growth broad-based across Asia and North America.
The company raised its full-year fiscal 2027 outlook on the back of the results, now expecting constant-currency revenue growth of about 5% to 6% for the year — an improvement management attributed directly to the stronger-than-expected first quarter. CEO Patrice Louvet framed the results as a strong start to the second year of the company's Next Great Chapter: Drive strategic plan, describing performance as broad-based across geographies, channels, and consumer segments.
A double-digit EPS beat combined with 14% revenue growth and a raised full-year outlook is a stronger signal than a beat alone: it shows management saw enough breadth in the quarter's strength to feel comfortable extending that momentum into forward guidance.
