Powering Solar Progress: How PV Hardware's Global Manufacturing Delivers Local Advantage
PVH expands global manufacturing to avoid tariffs, and speed up solar projects—earning two top regional awards in 2025.
'Local manufacturing is no longer a competitive advantage — it's a necessity.'— Álvaro Casado - Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Middle East & Asia
JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA, June 3, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- As the solar industry continues to evolve, PV Hardware (PVH) stands out as a leading force, redefining how solar projects are delivered through a strategic global manufacturing network. With state-of-the-art facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Spain, PVH is committed to being close to its clients—offering locally tailored, cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or innovation.
Álvaro Casado - Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Middle East & Asia provides a full insight on the matter below:
Streamlining Projects Through Local Manufacturing
By establishing factories across key regions, PVH significantly reduces lead times and minimizes the typical challenges associated with cross-border logistics. This includes avoiding customs delays, high freight costs, and unpredictable tariffs—factors that can disrupt timelines and inflate project budgets.
'Local manufacturing is no longer a competitive advantage—it's a necessity,' a Alvaro explains. 'It shields projects from global disruptions, ensures material availability, and enhances agility. It's about delivering certainty to our clients.'
Navigating Tariffs Through Regional Presence
In regions where tariffs on imported solar equipment are high, PVH's localized approach is proving to be a major advantage. For instance, the company's factory in Saudi Arabia enables clients in the Middle East and North Africa to benefit from tariff-free solutions, fully aligned with national localization goals.
Real-World Impact: Faster Execution and Lower Costs
A recent project in Saudi Arabia illustrates PVH's value proposition. Leveraging its local factory, PVH delivered over 200 MW of tracker systems in record time. The client reported a 20% reduction in logistics-related costs, alongside faster installation thanks to proximity-based support and training.
Looking Ahead: Strategic Expansion in Asia and Africa
PVH is not stopping there. The company is actively exploring new manufacturing opportunities in India, Asia, and North Africa. This move is part of its long-term strategy to decentralize production, respond faster to market needs, and contribute to regional economic growth and job creation.
Recognized Excellence in 2025
PVH's efforts have not gone unnoticed. The company was recently honored with two prestigious awards: the MESIA Best Regional Tracker Award and Solarabic's Best Regional Solar Tracker Award.

Is PVH Stock Too Cheap to Ignore After Q1 Earnings?
Operating iconic fashion brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, PVH PVH stock has dropped nearly 20% after lowering its full-year guidance despite exceeding its Q1 expectations on Wednesday. Formerly known as Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, PVH has an extensive reach as a textile-apparel retailer that specializes in designing and marketing branded dress shirts, sportswear, jeanswear, intimate apparel, swim products, footwear, and handbags that are sold globally at various price points and in channels of distribution. Considering such, it's a worthy topic to decide whether it's time to buy the dip in this premium retailer's stock for a long-term rebound with PVH shares trading under $70 and more than 40% from their 52-week high of $124. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Preceding its unfavorable guidance, PVH has now surpassed the Zacks EPS Consensus for 17 consecutive quarters and has topped sales estimates for six straight quarters. Continuing this impressive streak, PVH posted Q1 EPS of $2.30, which topped expectations of $2.24, although this was down 6% from $2.45 per share in the comparative quarter. This came on Q1 sales of $1.98 billion, surpassing estimates of $1.93 billion and up from $1.95 billion in the prior period. Notably, PVH has posted an average earnings and sales surprise of 13.47% and 1.38% over the last four quarters, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research While PVH still expects full-year revenue to be slightly up or virtually flat from $8.65 billion a year ago, the company lowered its EBIT and EPS guidance, stating it's not in a position to fully compensate for the macroeconomic impact of higher tariffs. PVH now expects EPS for its current fiscal 2026 between $10.75-$11.00, compared to its previous guidance of $12.40-$12.75 and abruptly below the current Zacks Consensus of $12.59 per share or 7% growth. Zacks' projections currently call for PVH's annual earnings to rise another 13% in FY27 to $14.21, although EPS estimates will likely trend lower following the weaker-than-expected guidance. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Amid the selloff, long-term investors may be attracted to PVH's cheap valuation at just 6.4X forward earnings compared to its Zacks Textile-Apparel Industry average of 13.3X, with some noteworthy peers in the space being Lululemon LULU and Ralph Lauren RL. Furthermore, PVH trades well below its decade-long high of 82.6X forward earnings and offers a noticeable discount to its median of 11.3X during this period. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research More intriguing, PVH's PEG ratio of 0.57 is under the optimum level of less than 1, which suggests a company is undervalued when comparing the P/E ratio to its growth rate. It's noteworthy that PVH also trades at less than 1X forward sales. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Following its Q1 report, PVH stock lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Biting on the post-earnings dip in PVH stock is very tempting, but it will be important to pay attention to the trend of earnings estimate revisions in the coming weeks. To that point, a decline in PVH's FY26 EPS estimates is to be expected, but a steep drop in FY27 EPS estimates could indicate more downside risk ahead and may even lead to a sell rating despite the company's enticing valuation. For now, PVH is a stock that investors may certainly want to hold or add to their watchlist for what will hopefully be a sharp rebound at some point.

PVH Q1 Earnings Call: Management Details Margin Pressure and Promotional Challenges Amid Weak Consumer Environment
Fashion conglomerate PVH (NYSE:PVH) beat Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025 as sales only rose 1.6% year on year to $1.98 billion. Its non-GAAP EPS of $2.30 per share was 2.2% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy PVH? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $1.98 billion (1.6% year-on-year growth) Adjusted EPS: $2.30 vs analyst estimates of $2.25 (2.2% beat) Management lowered its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to $10.88 at the midpoint, a 13.5% decrease Operating Margin: -16.7%, down from 10.5% in the same quarter last year Constant Currency Revenue rose 1.9% year on year (-8.7% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $3.88 billion PVH's first quarter results reflected the company's efforts to drive growth at Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger through product innovation and targeted marketing despite an increasingly challenging retail environment. CEO Stefan Larsson highlighted the successful launch of Calvin Klein's Icon Cotton Stretch Underwear for Men, which drove a 25% increase in sales for that franchise, and noted a 14% gain in Calvin Klein's fashion denim assortment due to expanded fits and designs. Direct-to-consumer e-commerce saw growth, while store traffic remained pressured. Larsson acknowledged that weaker consumer sentiment led to higher promotional activity, particularly in North America and China, which weighed on margins. Looking forward, PVH's management signaled a cautious outlook amid ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, including new tariffs and persistent softness in consumer demand. Larsson stated, 'We are not yet in a place to fully compensate for the effects of these strong macro forces,' while CFO Zac Coughlin emphasized that the company's updated guidance accounts for a more promotional environment and the impact of tariffs, especially in the U.S. Management aims to mitigate these challenges by expanding key product launches, increasing marketing investment, and executing cost-saving initiatives. The addition of new leadership at Calvin Klein and the scaling of PVH's operational improvements are intended to position the company for margin recovery in the second half of the year and into 2026. Management attributed the quarter's revenue growth to product innovation and expanded wholesale activities, but highlighted that consumer softness and increased promotion led to margin compression and a downward revision of full-year profit guidance. Product innovation drove select growth: The launch of Calvin Klein's Icon Cotton Stretch Underwear franchise, supported by a high-profile marketing campaign, resulted in 25% higher combined sales for that category. Fashion denim also saw a 14% lift due to updated fits and designs, showing where targeted innovation can still deliver growth. Wholesale outperformed direct retail: PVH benefited from earlier wholesale shipments in The Americas, as well as the relaunch and in-housing of Calvin Klein women's sportswear and jeans. However, direct-to-consumer revenue—especially in brick-and-mortar stores—declined amid lower traffic, only partially offset by e-commerce gains. Europe stabilized, Asia lagged: Europe saw mid-single-digit revenue growth in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer, with improved conversion during key shopping periods. In contrast, Asia Pacific, particularly China, faced continued weakness in consumer sentiment, contributing to a double-digit sales decline in the region. Promotional activity pressured margins: Management cited a more promotional retail environment globally—especially in the U.S. and China—as a key factor behind the decline in gross margin. This trend is expected to persist throughout the year, as PVH absorbs both macroeconomic pressure and new tariff impacts. Operational challenges at Calvin Klein: The transition to a centralized global product creation model for Calvin Klein led to operational hurdles, constraining product development timelines and sourcing. Management addressed these by bringing in new leadership and expects sequential improvements by next spring, but acknowledged that these issues contributed to first-half margin weakness. PVH expects macro headwinds, ongoing promotional intensity, and cost-saving initiatives to determine its revenue and margin trajectory through the rest of the year. Tariff and macro pressure: Management anticipates that recently enacted U.S. tariffs will reduce earnings by about $65 million this year, with most headwinds in the second half. The company is leveraging its global sourcing network and considering selective price adjustments, but expects only partial mitigation in the near term. Cost savings and operational fixes: PVH aims to realize 200 basis points of operating margin benefit from cost-saving actions—such as technology consolidation and logistics optimization—by year-end. Management believes these efforts, combined with the resolution of Calvin Klein's product development challenges, will support margin improvement exiting the year. Marketing and product launches: The company is increasing marketing investments for both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, focusing on high-impact campaigns and new product introductions in key categories like underwear, denim, and outerwear. Management expects these initiatives to drive consumer engagement and offset some of the pressure from promotional environments. In upcoming quarters, the StockStory team will monitor (1) the pace of inventory normalization as PVH adjusts its supply to match demand, (2) tangible improvements in Calvin Klein's product development and on-time deliveries following operational changes, and (3) the effectiveness of increased marketing spend in generating higher traffic and conversion rates. Additional focus will be on how successfully PVH manages the ongoing promotional intensity and tariff headwinds in its core markets. PVH currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 6.1×.
