Ralph Lauren's challenged turnaround in the U.S. and heightened macro headwinds are weighing on the retailer's stock, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said Monday.

The firm reiterated its underperform rating and slashed its price target to $76 from $98. Shares of Ralph Lauren ticked 1% lower on Monday, hitting a new 52-week low.
