All measured sympathy peers for PVH
Every peer below passed the gates — enough events, direction consistency well above a coin flip, and a move meaningfully bigger than its normal day. Nobody else publishes this measurement; it exists because EarningsWatcher computes it from every PVH report, with the peer's own earnings days and heavy market days excluded.

Why trade the peer instead of PVH itself?
Options on PVH are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. ROST has no event that day: its options are priced for a normal session, and measured across our pairs the median change in peer IV through a reporter's print is roughly zero. The sympathy trade turns PVH's report into a position with a normal-day hurdle instead of an event-premium hurdle. New to the concept? Read what a sympathy play is, then see this week's live board.
Frequently asked questions
Which stocks move when PVH reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of PVH's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is ROST: same direction as PVH's reaction in 71% of 35 tracked reports, median same-day move ±1.2%.
Are stocks like PVH worth watching on its earnings day?
That is exactly what a sympathy play is: PVH's report reprices companies with the same customers and economics, so 'stocks like PVH' often move the same day — without an earnings event of their own. The size is usually smaller than PVH's own move (ROST: ±1.2% vs a normal day ×1.5), but the peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is ROST correlated with PVH?
On PVH's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 71% same-direction over 35 events after excluding ROST's own earnings window and heavy market days. General day-to-day correlation is a different (weaker) question — the earnings-day link is the tradeable one.
What is a sympathy stock?
A sympathy stock moves on another company's news rather than its own — here, ROST reacting to PVH's earnings. EarningsWatcher measures these relationships event by event and gates them for sample size, direction consistency and amplification; see the full guide to sympathy plays.
