On Wednesday, October 7, Levi Strauss (LEVI.N) shares fell 4.3% to $19.65 ahead of the company's quarterly earnings release after the market close. With consumer spending becoming more cautious, investors are closely watching the company's progress in entering the premium jeans market. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), the apparel manufacturer—known for its jeans and casual wear—is expected to report third-quarter revenue growth of about 5% year-on-year to $1.62 billion, with adjusted earnings per share at $0.36, higher than last year's $0.34. Last quarter, the company raised its annual sales forecast, betting that its premium jeans would attract high-income consumers, though its earnings outlook disappointed some investors. Jefferies, in a preview report, anticipated the third-quarter results would be "solid" given strong demand for jeans, and pointed out that the appointment of a new chief financial officer signals continued focus on future global growth. On September 30, Levi's announced the appointment of John Vandemore as chief financial officer, effective November 1, 2026; Vandemore previously worked at Skechers, where he served as corporate controller and led the global finance team for the past nine years. In response to this news, Levi's shares have declined about 5% year-to-date and approximately 20% over the past 12 months. Out of 16 brokerage firms, 13 rate the stock as "strong buy" or "buy," while 3 have it as "hold"; the median target price remains at $27, unchanged over the last three months.
