Description: KTB Kontoor Brands January 11, 2026
Kontoor Brands, Inc. (NYSE: KTB) is a U.S.–based lifestyle apparel company that designs, produces, markets and licenses denim, apparel, footwear and accessories under the Wrangler and Lee brands, with an additional licensing arrangement for Rock & Republic. The firm reports through two operating segments-Wrangler and Lee-and distributes its products via mass merchants, specialty retailers, department stores, company-owned outlets and e-commerce channels across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and APAC.
In FY 2023 the company generated approximately $2.1 billion in revenue, with a gross margin of roughly 48 %-both metrics reflecting modest improvement over the prior year as inventory levels were trimmed and pricing power in the premium-denim segment strengthened. The global denim market is projected to grow at a 5 % CAGR through 2027, driven by “athleisure-in-denim” trends and a shift toward sustainable fabrics, which are key tailwinds for Kontoor’s product mix. However, exposure to wholesale partners makes the business vulnerable to retailer inventory resets and macro-level consumer spending volatility, especially in the United States where discretionary apparel demand is closely tied to employment trends.
