Most Popular Narrative: 47.3% Undervalued

Capri's most followed narrative values the shares at $37.64, almost double the last close at $19.82, which puts a bold spotlight on the gap between price and 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.

Want to see how this valuation hangs together when revenue is expected to shrink but profits are forecast to grow sharply? The crux of the narrative is how margins, brand value and future earnings power interact to support that higher fair value without assuming blue sky growth. The numbers behind that tension are what make this story so interesting.

Result: Fair Value of $37.64 (UNDERVALUED)
