Most Popular Narrative: 51.3% Undervalued
Capri Holdings last closed at $18.32, while the most followed narrative, according to user n385903, points to a fair value of $37.64. This creates a large gap that many investors will want to understand more clearly.
• 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. The company has essentially put in their old CEO, who directed Michael Kor’s prior growth (John Idol), back into play, looking for stability and then energy.
Want to see how a luxury group with falling revenue still lands on a higher fair value? The narrative leans heavily on margin recovery, modest top line pressure and a future earnings multiple that some investors usually reserve for stronger brand stories. Curious which exact growth and profitability assumptions push Capri’s fair value almost double the last close and how long that runway is supposed to last?
Result: Fair Value of $37.64 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this hinges on Michael Kors finding its footing again and on Capri turning a US$1,154m net loss into sustainable margins without further revenue pressure eroding that thesis.
