The shares of Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:RL) are down 3.2% to trade at $100.53 at last check, after the company elected Wei Zhang to is board of directors, which is now made up of 13 members. In late October, Ralph Lauren also announced a partnership with Epic Games, which is owned China-based Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), to debut a digital apparel and accessories line for its online game Fortnite.

Ralph Lauren stock surged to its highest level since early June on Friday, conquering the 180-day moving average in the process, which is poised to contain today's pullback. Additionally, the security blasted through a long-term ceiling at the $99 area, which had been capping the shares since August. RL has added 18.4% quarter-to-date, but is still down 15.4% in 2022.
