What This Transaction Means for Investors

Segall Bryant & Hamill recently disclosed a sale of more than 650,000 shares of V.F. Corporation stock, valued at approximately $10.6 million. Here’s why it matters to investors.

For starters, the sale comes at an interesting time for VFC shares. The stock has been heading upward, after hitting a multi-year low in April 2025. Since then, shares are up about 112%. Therefore, it’s possible that Segall Bryant & Hamill are simply taking profits on an apparel stock that has performed quite well over the last ten months.

At any rate, VFC, the parent company of iconic brands like The North Face, Timberland, and Vans, remains in the midst of a turnaround. Net debt has fallen by about 22%, shoring up the company’s balance sheet. However, VFC’s dividend has also been cut, falling from nearly $2.00 in 2021 to $0.36 in 2025.

So, while the turnaround story may attract some investors, others — particularly income-oriented investors — may remain hesitant given the stock’s 1.8% dividend yield.
