Key Takeaways

Shares of VF Corp. dropped Wednesday despite the apparel maker reporting third-quarter earnings that topped expectations as sales grew across each of its international regions.

VF ( VFC ), the parent company of Vans, North Face, and a number of other apparel brands, reported $167.78 million, or 43 cents per share, in net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to a $42.45 million loss in the same quarter a year ago.

VF also recorded $2.83 billion in revenue, up about 2% year-over-year and better than the slight decline the company and analysts had projected. Looking ahead to the current quarter, the company said it expects revenue to come in down 4% to 6% from the year-ago quarter, with a projected adjusted operating loss of up to $30 million.
