Premium contentPremium contentStockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly TPR is an international manufacturer of luxury items that include the Coach and Kate Spade brands. They have built cash reserves back above $2 billion during the pandemic, while paying down debt. They trade at 16x earnings, compared to peers like RL at 49x. They have re-instated the dividend at a good yield, while keeping the payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $30, looking to achieve $53.50 -- upside potential over 29%. Yield 2.45%. (Analysts’ price target is $53.13)
Got an analyst upgrade today and the stock surged and lifted the entire retail clothing sector. He prefers tried-and-true Lululemon though.
Bruce MurrayBruce MurrayBruce MurrayBruce MurrayThis is gone through a respectable 1st round of recovery. They’ve renovated about 500 stores and are planning to renovate a couple of more. They’ve removed their products from about a quarter of the Department stores, and have reduced the number of promotions/sales which has helped their profit margins. These are entry-level luxury items, and people only buy 1 or 2 of them, unless they expand their offerings. They are not buying 4 or 5. Not sure where the growth is going to come from. Feels the easy money has already been made.
This is having a real hard time. They have fallen out of the consumer’s eye of being the luxury brand that they once were. Once you lose that momentum, it is very difficult to regain it. Sales are down 21% year-over-year in North America. Recently did an acquisition of Stuart Weitzman, a luxury shoemaker, and spent $550 million. Not quite sure how this acquisition is going to help them sell more Coach purses. The good news is that sales in China have been picking up, but not nearly enough to offset what they’ve lost in the US. Given the slowdown in sales in the US, they have had to cut prices to move inventory, and by cutting prices, margins have also shrunk.
