Levi Strauss & Co reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter, driven by strong growth in wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. The company also raised its full-year guidance, supported by disciplined cost management and operational efficiencies that are expanding margins. Analysts from Jefferies and UBS praised Levi's resilience amid economic challenges like tariff increases and gas price spikes, highlighting confidence in its transformation into a global lifestyle brand. This momentum suggests continued revenue and margin growth in upcoming quarters.
