We recently compiled a list of the Why These 15 Retail Stocks Are Skyrocketing So Far In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tapestry Inc (NYSE:TPR) stands against the other retail stocks.
The retail industry in 2025 has been doing surprisingly well. Growth has started to accelerate for many companies and AI is allowing a lot more efficiency in the supply chain. The macros have also cooperated with the retail industry as the strong labor market with positive wage growth has pushed more consumer spending.
Retailers are capitalizing on this by expanding into new markets and spending more on AI-powered supply chains and checkout systems. Plus, there’s chatter of interest rates coming down this year, especially with pressure from the Trump administration. This could boost the sector even more.
The convergence of these factors has created fertile ground for retail stocks. It is worth looking into those that have performed the best so far this year, as the market has rewarded these companies for good reasons.
