The revision follows updated forecasts that incorporate the earlier-than-expected closure of the Hanes supply agreement, a development viewed as manageable and already largely absorbed into Gildan\u2019s operating plans.<\/p>\n<p>National Bank highlighted Gildan\u2019s solid medium-term outlook, underpinned by organic growth across core product categories, continued market share gains, and the realization of cost and operational synergies tied to its vertically integrated manufacturing model. The bank also noted that disciplined capital allocation and improving margin visibility support a more favorable risk-reward profile, reinforcing confidence in Gildan\u2019s ability to deliver steady earnings growth over the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gildan Activewear Inc.
