Levi Strauss heads into its third-quarter report, due after the close on 7 October, amid expectations that management could raise earnings guidance. UBS points to stronger revenue growth as a reason the apparel maker's fiscal 2026 guidance could move higher, with further upside seen if tariff assumptions are lowered. Separately, Levi's and Marks & Spencer launched a collaborative effort aimed at moving fashion suppliers toward renewable energy, addressing the roughly 70% of industry emissions tied to upstream supply-chain activities.
