Capri Holdings Ltd (CPRI) on Wednesday revised up its full-year profit forecast, as it signaled strong demand for its Michael Kors handbags and Versace dresses.

On the other hand, Capri revised down its fiscal 2023 revenue forecast to $5.95 billion from a prior estimate of $6.1 billion, since China’s COVID-19 lockdown measures led to store closures.
