FQ1 adjusted gross margin expanded 180 bps Y/Y to 72.3% due to AUR (average unit retail) growth, favorable channel and geographic mix, and lower cotton costs.We raise our opinion due to undeniable fundamental improvements and valuation near what we believe to be fair.Shares now trade under 19x consensus estimates for the next 12 months and in line with what we see as a fair multiple compared to peers.
