Most Popular Narrative: 45.5% Undervalued
Capri Holdings last closed at $20.51, while the most followed narrative, according to n385903, points to a fair value of $37.64 using a 10% discount rate.
• 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 falling revenue, thin margins and a heavy Michael Kors reliance still screens as undervalued? The narrative leans on margin repair and future profitability, plus a premium profit multiple that assumes the turnaround sticks. The exact mix of revenue contraction, margin reset and exit multiple is where the story gets interesting.
Result: Fair Value of $37.64 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this story can break if Michael Kors’ brand slide deepens or if Capri struggles to turn a US$1.15b net loss into sustainable profitability.
