VF Has Been Troubled Recently, but Its Brands Provide a Competitive Edge
Business Strategy and Outlook
VF has built a portfolio of strong brands in multiple apparel categories. We view the three brands that account for about 80% its sales (Vans, Timberland, and The North Face) as supporting its narrow moat based on a brand intangible asset. Despite economic concerns, we believe VF will grow faster than most competitors in the long run and maintain its competitive edge.
