What to watch
- Management commentary on order-book visibility, customer inventory levels and booking trends for the next two quarters.
- Sequential margin movement versus revenue growth, including labor, input-cost, freight and foreign-exchange effects.

- Increase hedging and sourcing flexibility for currency, cotton, synthetic fiber, freight and labor-cost volatility.
- Seek deeper vendor consolidation opportunities with global brands looking to reduce supplier complexity and diversify country exposure.
