This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Ralph Lauren pay?

Ralph Lauren is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies. [S&P 500 companies](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sp-500-stocks) ## Is Ralph Lauren profitable? Ralph Lauren Corporation earned $262 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +19.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 11th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $941 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 11.9% a year on average. That is 13.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $220 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $941 M (+26.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +14.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.5 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +24.6% and revenue +14.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Ralph Lauren make, and is it growing? Ralph Lauren Corporation reported $2.0 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +14.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 6.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $8.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $8.4 B. FY26 revenue was $8.1 B, +14.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +14.8% on average, against 6.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +14.7%, against +12.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +23.7%, against +20.0% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Ralph Lauren keep? Ralph Lauren Corporation's operating margin was 18.4% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 10.4% and 15.9%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +1.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Ralph Lauren's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 148% of Ralph Lauren Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $1.2 B of operating cash against $941 M of profit. After $408 M of spending on assets, $746 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Ralph Lauren's cash go? Ralph Lauren Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $789 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.2% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $789 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Ralph Lauren's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Ralph Lauren Corporation's P/E is 24.9×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 89% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 18.6×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +30.1% while the price moved +23.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +50.7% a year; about +26.5% a year came from earnings growth and about +24.2 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Ralph Lauren business getting better or worse? Ralph Lauren Corporation's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 24.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does Ralph Lauren earn on its capital? Ralph Lauren Corporation earned a ROE of 33% in FY26. That is up from a low of 22% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 17.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 11.6% net margin and 1.05× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 11.6% net margin × 1.05× asset turnover × 2.72× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 33.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 28.4% − 10.5% = +17.9 percentage points. The 10.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 28.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 29.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Ralph Lauren have too much debt? Ralph Lauren Corporation has total debt of $3.0 B against shareholder equity of $2.7 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.10× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.34 in FY22 to 1.06 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Ralph Lauren shareholding pattern? 6.2% of Ralph Lauren Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Ralph Lauren from balance-sheet trouble? For Ralph Lauren Corporation, the Z-score is 6.04. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 6.04 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Ralph Lauren rank in its industry? 69.8 out of 100, rank 2 of 16 in Apparel Manufacturing, with 81% of the evidence available. Ralph Lauren Corporation scores 69.8 out of 100 against the 16 companies it is compared with in Apparel Manufacturing, ranking 2. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 27 + 21.6 + 12.1 + 9.1 = 69.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Ralph Lauren compared with? Ralph Lauren ranks 2 of 16 Apparel Manufacturing companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 69.8 out of 100. 1.

They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
