Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Adjusted EBIT margin expands to approximately 12%: FY26 operating margin guidance 12.0% vs 12% target.

View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 1% a day.
View RiskLevi Strauss' international momentum has to keep compounding to justify the price. Revenue grew 8% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations by 17%. It trades at 14.5× P/E versus a peer median of 15.1×. The price reflects less growth than forecasted, indicating modest expectations. If Levi reverses and cuts guidance after recently raising it, that would hurt credibility. Peer multiples imply a price about 6% above where it trades. The thesis is on watch due to a primary pillar under pressure.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-04. LEVI is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
