Coach stock recently sank following its fiscal first-quarter earnings report, but one Fool explains how it provides a perfect entry point for long-term investors.

As the broader market has risen to all-time highs so far in 2013, Coach (TPR 1.89%) stock has languished thanks largely to weak results from its core North American market.

More recently, and for the second quarter in a row, shares of Coach crumbled a few weeks ago after the company stated that overall sales fell 1% year over year, while earnings per share remained flat as a result of the company's share repurchase efforts.

Meanwhile, Coach competitor Michael Kors (CPRI 1.62%) just reported stellar quarterly sales growth of 38.9%, leaving Coach investors to wonder why they're sticking around.

But the Fool's Steve Symington thinks this year's lull represents a perfect opportunity for patient long-term investors to get in, and explains in the video below why he personally just added Coach stock to his own portfolio.
