V.F (VFC) returned to focus after its latest quarterly report, which showed revenue ahead of expectations but earnings per share below forecasts, followed by a 22.5% slide in the share price.
That sharp earnings-day drop came after a tougher few months for V.F, with the share price down 13.84% over 90 days and 20.15% year to date, although a 7.01% 7 day share price return and 2.77% 1 year total shareholder return hint at momentum rebuilding from a low base.
