  • PVH Shares Drop 3% as April Inflation Surges to 3.8% Annual Rate
    May 15, 2026, 8:16 PM EDT. PVH shares fell 3% following the latest Consumer Price Index report showing inflation at a 3.8% annual rate in April, the fastest since 2023. Energy costs, notably a 5.4% rise in gasoline prices linked to the Iran conflict, sharply increased. Higher prices for essentials like food and shelter raised concerns over reduced consumer spending on discretionary items, impacting retail and consumer goods sectors. PVH's stock, volatile with 14 moves over 5% in the past year, reacted moderately compared to a recent 7.7% drop amid crude oil price surges and weak consumer sentiment. Goldman Sachs lowered its 2026 discretionary cash flow forecast from 5.1% to 3.7%, citing squeezed consumer budgets. PVH trades 18% below its 52-week high, with long-term investors facing a decline in value.
