Ralph Lauren Corporation $RL has revised its outlook, projecting only marginal revenue increases through the end of its fiscal year concluding in March 2026. This cautious forecast contrasts with consensus analyst estimates, which anticipated approximately 4% growth. The company attributes this conservative stance to muted consumer spending trends in the United States, a critical market for its premium apparel and lifestyle products.

Henkel, a global leader in consumer goods and adhesives, has recently adjusted its growth strategy following a year in which market expectations were not met. The company now forecasts an increase in organic sales of up to 3.5% by 2025. This strategic pivot comes as a response to the 2024 performance and the implementation of a renewed growth program aimed at stabilizing and enhancing market performance.
