Gildan Activewear Inc. is currently navigating a complex landscape in the clothing industry, particularly with the impact of tariffs, which could potentially increase clothing prices. Experts express a belief that, despite the inevitability of ongoing imports and the long-term decline of textile jobs in North America, the demand for clothing will persist. Onshoring is anticipated to be a lengthy process, indicating a cautious approach toward the future. While there are concerns about recent market corrections, experts suggest that these corrections are likely overdone and that Gildan may rebound. Furthermore, historical resilience has been noted, as the company has successfully weathered previous challenges, positioning itself well for long-term stability.
EPS of 74c beat estimates of 71c; revenue of $869M beat estimates by 3%. GIL actually lowered guidance but the stock rose anyway as the degree of adjustment was less than expected. RBC raised its target. EPS is now expected at the low end of the prior $2.55 to $2.65 range. Margins dipped, but this is a case of 'investors were expecting worse' and the stock has staged a very nice rally this week.

With tariffs, could see the price of clothing go up. As Springsteen sang, textile jobs are not coming back to NA; clothes will still be imported. Impact on the clothing industry remains to be seen. Thinks prices will go higher, but people still need to get dressed. Onshoring will be a multi-year journey.
Correction is probably overdone, will probably bounce.
