PVH (PVH) is back in focus after its latest quarterly report, where revenue and EPS guidance came in above analyst estimates, yet the stock weakened as investors appeared to want even more.

PVH's share price has been volatile, with a 10.59% 1 month share price return and an 18.56% year to date share price return, but a 14.13% decline over 3 months. The 5 year total shareholder return of 22.48% shows how longer term holders have faced a tougher run, even as recent earnings and the incoming CFO appointment reset expectations.
