Rising inventories and rising provisions for doubtful accounts is a very bad combination for Ralph Lauren. Thery still generate decent cash flow, although I would expect more from a business priced at $13.7 BB market cap. I am anticipating a weaker than expected Christmas season for RL, which will cause large mark down's to the current very high levels of inventory. This should put substantial pressure on their margins and an eventual decline in the stock price. I also believe they will have difficulty with rising raw material costs (specifically, cotton) and passing those additional expenses on to their clientele.
