With Capri shares at US$17.96, trading at a discount to analyst targets and with an intrinsic value gap still implied, you need to ask whether this is genuine mispricing or whether the market already sees limited future growth potential.
Using a fair value of $37.64 from the most followed Capri narrative, the current $17.96 price sits well below that estimate, which frames the rest of this turnaround story.
It has become more apparent that Capri’s turnaround story has to be done with no moat and rather tiny margins moving forward as it tries to move back to profitability. It can’t currently do buybacks and has to deal with more declining revenue. Projected inflation and a likely case of consumer burnout make the luxury space a significant risk. Their largest brand, Michael Kors, is undoubtedly experiencing a decline and will require crucial strategic understanding to reverse this trend. However, they have shown their brands to be inherently valuable and could sell them off in the future. These guys sell for way less than their revenue, and going back to a 10-12% margin, which is less than pre-Covid, would leave this company still significantly undervalued even if it has to cut high single-digit percentages off of its per annum revenue.
Curious how a company with shrinking revenue, thin margins and brand pressure still lands at a much higher fair value? The narrative hinges on a return to double digit profitability and a future earnings multiple that assumes the turnaround sticks. Want to see exactly which revenue path and margin reset underpin that $37.64 figure?
Result: Fair Value of $37.64 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this depends on Michael Kors avoiding further brand erosion and on Capri turning a US$1,154.0 million net loss into sustainable margins in a tough luxury demand backdrop.
