Tapestry is the Worst Stock in the S&P 500 Today. Blame Guidance.

Dow Jones
Aug 14

Tapestry stock has been sliding since Tuesday, but the luxury brand tumbled even further Thursday after it issued soft guidance that made it the worst performer in the S&P 500.

The parent company of Coach and Kate Spade guided fiscal 2027 earnings of $7.80 and $7.90 a share on revenue between $8.4 billion and $8.5 billion. That outlook at the midpoint was below Wall Street's $7.87 a share and $8.47 billion forecast, according to FactSet.

That was enough for investors to send Tapestry stock down 15% to $130.05 on Thursday and make it the worst S&P 500 component. For comparison, the S&P 500 rose 0.6% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.1%.

The weak guidance was just the excuse Wall Street needed to continue taking profit after Tapestry stock hit a record closing high of $164.78 on Monday. Shares were on pace Thursday to close lower for a third-consecutive session after notching that record high.

The soft guidance for the current fiscal year, along with the recent record high, was also enough to overshadow solid fiscal fourth-quarter earnings.

Tapestry posted adjusted earnings of $1.32 a share, up from $1.04 a year ago and above Wall Street's $1.28 expectation. Revenue grew 9% to $1.88 billion, slightly beating the analyst consensus call for $1.87 billion.

The profit-taking has dimmed what had been a strong run for Tapestry stock. Shares had gained 29% this year as of Monday's closing but is now up just about 2% in 2026.

Not even the glimmer of a 16% increase to Tapestry's quarterly dividend at 46.25 cents a share was enough for Wall Street to stop selling.

Now the only question is when shares will bottom.
