Oxford Industries reported disappointing Q2 2024 results with negative comps and wholesale revenues, blaming macroeconomic factors, political events, and inadequate opening price points. Gross margins fell 100bps due to increased sales during discount periods, while SG&A expenses deleveraged due to store expansions and a new distribution center. The company reduced its annual guidance, expecting a decline in comparable sales and lower EPS, maintaining a Hold rating due to cyclical challenges and limited organic growth.

Based on weak revisions, I am downgrading my rating on Oxford Industries stock to a Hold despite possible near-term alpha due to its potential undervaluation. Oxford faces ongoing contraction in H2, but 2025 will be much stronger based on the consensus estimates. However, growth beyond this looks only moderate. If management strategically refocuses on higher-value fashion products, it could face significant inhibition from established luxury powerhouses.

Shares of Oxford Industries (OXM) sank to their lowest level in more than two years after the clothing retailer posted worse-than-expected results and slashed its guidance as it faced what Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tom Chubb called a "challenging consumer environment."
