Review of Gildan Activewear Inc.

NOV 07, 2024 - GIL has been a consistent, longstanding Canadian clothing provider. The company’s vertically integrated supply chain has been a key value creator which has allowed GIL to carve out an international position in the ever-competitive clothing industry. We think GIL looks attractive despite the valuation expanding to higher historical levels. We are maintaining our B rating out of prudence to the leadership changes but will consider a re-rating if performance continues to be strong.

Q: I have very limited to zero holdings in Consumer Defensive and Cyclical. Could you explain the difference between Defensive and Cyclical and recommend how best to invest, either individual stocks or ETF.
Many thanks,
Ralph
