Description: RL Ralph Lauren December 19, 2025

Ralph Lauren Corp. (NYSE:RL) designs, markets, and distributes a broad portfolio of lifestyle products-including apparel, accessories, home goods, fragrances, and a limited restaurant collection-across North America, Europe, Asia, and other international markets. The brand operates through multiple labels such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Purple Label, and Double RL, selling to department stores, specialty retailers, golf shops, and directly via owned stores, shop-within-shop concessions, and e-commerce sites.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly $6.3 billion, with a 13 % operating margin, while digital sales grew about 20 % year-over-year, reflecting the industry-wide shift toward direct-to-consumer channels. The wholesale segment now represents roughly 30 % of total sales, down from 40 % a few years ago, as the company emphasizes higher-margin DTC growth. Economic drivers include U.S. consumer confidence and discretionary spending trends, which historically correlate with luxury apparel performance, and ongoing inflation pressures that affect pricing power and cost of raw materials.
