Description: GIL Gildan Activewear November 04, 2025
Gildan Activewear Inc. (NYSE:GIL) is a vertically integrated apparel manufacturer that produces a broad portfolio of basic and performance clothing-including T-shirts, fleece, polos, and tank tops-under its own labels (Gildan, Gildan Performance, Champion, etc.) and also supplies hosiery, underwear, and specialty socks across multiple brand families such as GoldToe and Comfort Colors.
The company sells primarily to wholesale distributors, screen-printers, and embellishers, reaching end-customers through mass merchants, department stores, specialty retailers, craft outlets, and e-commerce platforms in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. It also provides private-label manufacturing services for lifestyle brands.
As of FY 2023, Gildan generated roughly **$2.5 billion** in revenue, with an operating margin of **≈12 %** and a diluted EPS of **$1.84**, supporting a modest dividend yield near **2 %**. The balance sheet remains strong, featuring a debt-to-equity ratio of about **0.6x** and cash on hand exceeding **$300 million**.
Key economic drivers for Gildan include raw-material cost volatility (cotton and polyester prices), labor-cost differentials across its North-American and Central-American facilities, and broader consumer-discretionary trends that tie apparel demand to disposable income and inflation expectations. The shift toward “athleisure” and sustainable fabrics also creates upside potential, while tariff exposure in key export markets remains a risk factor.
