Description: KTB Kontoor Brands November 08, 2025
Kontoor Brands, Inc. (NYSE:KTB) is a U.S.-based lifestyle apparel company that designs, produces, markets, distributes, and licenses denim, apparel, footwear, and accessories, chiefly under the Wrangler and Lee brands, with an additional licensing arrangement for Rock & Republic. The firm operates two primary segments-Wrangler and Lee-and sells through mass merchants, specialty retailers, mid-tier and traditional department stores, its own retail locations, and e-commerce channels across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Incorporated in 2018 and headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, KTB is classified under the GICS sub-industry “Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods.”
Recent data (FY 2023) shows KTB generated approximately $2.2 billion in revenue, with a 5% year-over-year increase driven largely by strong demand for premium denim in the United States-a market that analysts estimate will grow at a 3-4% CAGR through 2028. The company’s inventory turnover improved to 5.2×, reflecting tighter supply-chain management after pandemic-induced disruptions. A key economic driver is consumer discretionary spending; the latest U.S. consumer confidence index (April 2025) of 108 suggests a favorable environment for mid-price denim, while inflation-adjusted disposable income trends remain a material risk to sales momentum.
