Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Our weakest performer in Q3 was apparel and footwear company V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC). Consumer spending concerns weighed on the market’s sentiment toward companies selling more discretionary goods. Additionally, management lowered guidance primarily due to weaker sales for its Vans brand, higher-than-expected industry discounting, and macroeconomic uncertainty. The remainder of the portfolio is performing well, as evidenced by solid refreshed long-term financial targets.”
