GIL doubles its scale with the HanesBrands acquisition, expanding its brand portfolio and boosting global competitiveness while targeting major cost synergies.
I stick with a "Buy" for Gildan Activewear, following my assessment of its capital allocation and business performance. GIL's core Activewear segment did well, offsetting weakness in Hosiery & Underwear, with price leadership and manufacturing efficiencies driving profitability. The Hanesbrands acquisition is expected to diversify revenue, optimize capacity, and deliver margin-related synergies.
Gildan Activewear (GIL) came out with quarterly earnings of $1 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.98 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.85 per share a year ago.
Gildan Activewear narrowed certain expectations for the year on the back of weaker demand and tariff costs after third-quarter profit fell.
Gildan (GIL) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
Investors need to pay close attention to GIL stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
Gildan delivered solid Q2 results with strong top-line growth, but margin expansion remains elusive, and some growth was driven by one-off tariff-related order pull-forwards. The company is structurally advantaged for tariffs, maintains market leadership, and is well-positioned to navigate shifting trade policies, but faces a shrinking, addressable market. Capital discipline remains strong, with excess cash returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks after completing major capex projects.
