Judge Blocks Acquisition: A federal judge has blocked Tapestry's acquisition of Capri, which would have combined brands like Coach and Michael Kors, due to concerns over reduced competition.
FTC Involvement: The ruling came after the Federal Trade Commission sued to prevent the $8.5 billion deal, arguing it would lead to higher prices in the accessible luxury handbag market.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for CPRI is 26.73 USD with a low forecast of 22.00 USD and a high forecast of 32.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
