Ralph Lauren faces significant business risk from prevailing economic adversities and shifting consumer behaviors. Global factors such as inflation, interest rate hikes, and geopolitical tensions, notably the Russia-Ukraine conflict, could dampen consumer spending on luxury goods. Consumer preferences may also pivot towards experiential spending over high-end retail in response to societal changes like remote work trends. These external conditions threaten Ralph Lauren’s margins, especially if prolonged promotional strategies are employed to stimulate demand amidst potential global recessions.

Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on RL stock based on 6 Buys, 1 Sell and 4 Holds.
