PVH (PVH) stock moved after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged while signaling a possible future hike, a decision that sharpened attention on consumer spending power and margins for apparel companies.

At a share price of US$77.97, PVH has given investors a 14.97% year to date share price return and a 23.42% one year total shareholder return. However, the 12.31% 30 day share price pullback suggests momentum has cooled after a stronger 90 day run.
