VF� (NYSE: VFC ) , owner of The North Face, Wrangler, and Timberland brands, among others, has a plan. By 2017, the company wants to be pulling down $17 billion in annual revenue, while earning $18 per share. That's a 50% increase in revenue, and a 67% jump in earnings per share from where the company expects to end 2013. As a potential investor, I'm now all ears to learn how VF is going to make this dream a reality.
In short, outdoor and action sports are going to need to gear it up. The plan is to have this business segment turning in 14% annual compound growth for the next five years, with 11 percentage points attributable to organic growth, while the final three come from acquisitions. While the other areas of the business are going to need to hold up their respective ends, it's really all down to action.
