Cowen analyst John Kernan said 34% of apparel and about 70% of footwear imported into the U.S. come from China, adding that 25% tariffs on apparel and footwear will create "major disruption" at a time when companies are already facing accelerating disruption from technology and Amazon (AMZN). The analyst, who thinks diversifying from China sourcing will be slow, said he views Skechers (SKX), G-III Apparel (GIII), Carter's (CRI), PVH Corp. (PVH) and Ralph Lauren (RL) as among the apparel stocks with outsized EPS risk. He added that he thinks companies like Under Armour (UAA), that may have lower than sector average exposure to China sourcing but also have lower EBIT margins, as faced with greater sensitivity to higher cost of goods.
