Hervé Léger Resort 2026 Collection
Ochs and her fellow designers have the Herculean task of inspiring a consumer that, as has been widely reported by industry trades, is becoming less interested in engaging with the luxury market. But she seems to be taking the new status quo in stride, you could say she's actually having some fun imbuing novelty into this decades-old label. (Hervé Legér turns 40 this year.)
Resort, which covers the holiday season, is crucial for a label like Léger with a proven track record in event dressing. Ochs reports that they've 'gained traction' with the introduction of woven styles as complements to the brand's famous bodycon knits. Her loosening of other silhouettes has also helped her push things forward.
There were other novelties, too. A venture into the Léger archives inspired the return of a basketweave technique; Ochs has placed it under the bust for an elegant and flattering effect. Another archive find is the stretch lace that Ochs used on slimming frocks. Also fun—and a good reason to shop—are a spray metallic ombré treatment Ochs has developed to imitate the brand's signature bandage effect without the actual layering, and a grommet-like foiling on a few separates that reads like both the actual hardware and a cooler version of a polka dot. Ochs has also been working on introducing leather, as on a sexy midi-length red slip, and on playing up transparency with mesh inserts. She's even venturing into tailoring. These have all been welcome introductions, which she reports her customer has been receptive to.
Yet most impactful is what she's done to the bandage dress itself. Making it sometimes longer and occasionally looser, angling it or deconstructing it, she's embraced the icon without letting it dictate too much of her output. 'People are loving the variation in lengths we've been giving,' said Ochs. 'We're educating her that it's not just tight mini dresses!'

Ken Fisher's Strategic Moves: Oracle Corp Sees Significant Reduction
Exploring Ken Fisher (Trades, Portfolio)'s Latest 13F Filing and Investment Adjustments Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Ken Fisher (Trades, Portfolio) recently submitted the 13F filing for the second quarter of 2025, providing insights into his investment moves during this period.

Ken has also written three major finance books, including the 1984 Dow Jones best-seller, Super Stocks, and has been published and/or interviewed in many major global finance and business periodicals.

Should You Buy the Post-Earnings Dip in Deere Stock?
Deere (DE) reported $4.75 a share of earnings on $10.4 billion in sales, both ahead of expectations, for its fiscal third quarter on Wednesday. Shares of the industrial giant are still down over 6% at writing. Investors are bailing on DE shares primarily because management trimmed its full-year outlook, citing lower pricing in the agricultural and construction equipment business. More News from Barchart Why This Cannabis Penny Stock Could Be Wall Street's Next Meme Trade Breakout Apple Stock Is Gaining Momentum, Is AAPL Stock a Buy? Peter Thiel-Backed Bullish Is About to IPO. Should You Buy BLSH Stock? Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Despite the post-earnings decline, Deere stock is still up roughly 19% versus its year-to-date low. Is It Worth Buying Deere Stock on the Post-Earnings Weakness? According to Oppenheimer analyst Kristen Owen, it makes sense for Deere to take a 'cautiously optimistic' stance on the future guidance especially given the current trade uncertainties. However, there were ample positives in the company's earnings report to warrant buying DE stock on the post-earnings dip. For example, 'they're seeing a little bit of incremental demand in Europe. They're seeing South America – a challenged market for the last two years – start to percolate,' Owen told CNBC in an interview on Thursday. She maintained her 'Outperform' rating on Deere shares today. Her $560 price objective indicates potential upside of some 18% from here. Innovation Could Drive DE Shares Up in the Back Half of 2025 On 'Money Movers,' Owen said innovation in agricultural technology – like DE's 'see and spray' systems – is helping farmers reduce costs while maintaining high yields, which makes them willing to pay a premium. This lifts pricing power for Deere, meaning it can charge more for its advanced equipment. That's a positive for DE shares because it supports strong margins and revenue growth, even in a down-cycle for farm equipment. USDA's recent bullish forecasts for yield reflect not just good weather, but the impact of this tech, reinforcing Deere's role as a leader in precision agriculture, she concluded. Note that Deere stock currently pays a dividend yield of 1.35% as well, which makes it even more attractive as a long-term holding. Deere Remains a 'Buy'-Rated Stock Among Wall Street Analysts Deere stock may be worth buying on post-earnings weakness also because other Wall Street firms remain bullish on it as well. The consensus rating on DE shares currently sits at 'Moderate Buy' with the mean target of roughly $548 indicating potential upside of some 15% from current levels.
