DON'T BUY

It's cheap, but there isn't a catalyst to take this higher.

SELL
Will buy Capri

The deal doesn't make sense, because TPR lost a lot of money. Better is Ralph Lauren in luxury goods.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This international manufacturer of luxury items that includes the Coach and Kate Spade brands is reiterated as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by 17% and ROE is over 29%. They are using cash reserves to buy back shares and pay down debt. They trade at 15x earnings, compared to peers at 28x. They have re-instated the dividend at a good yield, while keeping the payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from the $30.00 as previously recommended) to $38.50, looking to achieve $56 -- upside potential over 27%. Yield 2.30%. (Analysts’ price target is $55.93)
BUY
It reports Thursday and likely good news, which means it will surge to a 52-week high. Used to be called Coach.

TOP PICK

Stockchase 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)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Considering another lockdown The new CEO is doing a good job, the consumer appeal is good, and the merchandise is fresh. It's a rare brick and mortar name that he's really warming up to.
COMMENT

Got an analyst upgrade today and the stock surged and lifted the entire retail clothing sector. He prefers tried-and-true Lululemon though.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 16/19, Down 39%) He felt it was well-positioned to turn around. It owns Coach handbags which had far overexpanded, and a high-end shoe company. It just bought Kate Spade whose product line needed updating. These brands were expected to take off in China. He's bought more shares and sees more upside. Carries no debt.
TOP PICK
from $100 to They're buying back stock and maintaining the 5.29% yield. Once Kate Spade line-up, this will return to $45-50/share. (Analysts’ price target is $27.86)
RISKY
They are now the american designer company. They over expanded and denigrated the name. Having said that he bought the stock 2-3 months ago at $35 and he still has a $52 target on a turnaround. One of the aggressive picks in his fund. Doesn't have a lot of debt. Good high risk play.
TOP PICK
Coach expanded very rapidly a decade ago, over expanded and then got caught up in discount channels. Kate Spade needs some work and they need to refresh the product line. They did such a good job with coach he thinks they will do the same for Kate Spade. (Analysts’ price target is $44.24)
DON'T BUY

This 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.

WAIT

They recovered by renovation of stores to freshen things up. Removed product from about a quarter of their retailers. They reduced the number of discounts they have had. Their focus is to get back on track of being a premium brand. Don’t be in a rush to buy it.

DON'T BUY

He would be reluctant to put it in his portfolio given the competition and the decline in foot traffic in the US. The valuation and long term growth potential keeps him out of it. Prefers TJX-N.
