Tapestry Stock Could Rise 80% If It Hits Pre-Inflation Shock High

Note: Tapestry’s FY’23 ended July 1, 2023.

Tapestry (NYSE: TPR), a luxury goods retailer of handbags, shoes, and accessories, currently trades at $27 per share, nearly down from the $49 level (pre-inflation shock high) seen on May 7, 2021. 45% less, and there is profit potential. TPR’s stock was trading at around $28 on October 2, 2022, when the Fed continued raising rates, and is now about 5% below those levels. Tapestry’s organic improvements have not resulted in share price increases due to compression of valuation multiples. To add to this, the company announced the acquisition of Capri Holdings, formerly known as Michael Kors, in a transformational deal. But the market did not consider this deal good. Tapestry plans to finance the $8.5 billion debt deal, whose own net debt is reported to be around $900 million, for a $9.4 billion pro forma net debt load. Upon the announcement of the deal, TPR shares fell from the low forties to $35, and fell below $30 in the weeks that followed. As a result, we expect TPR’s share price to be under pressure in the short term due to a lot of uncertainty and debt concerns for the upcoming period. As stated, the Tapestry-Capri deal will create a larger portfolio of luxury brands as Tapestry’s Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands will be combined with Capri’s Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors brands. Additionally, Coach has a more significant physical presence in China – where the luxury market is rapidly recovering from the pandemic with greater strength and resilience. This is expected to reach approximately $112 billion by 2025, or about 25% of total global spending.

In comparison, returns for the S&P 500 have been 27% in 2021, -19% in 2022, and 12% in 2023 – indicating that TPR underperforms S&P In 2023. In fact, Consistently beating the S&P 500 Individual stocks have had it tough in recent years – in good times and bad; To giants in the consumer discretionary sector including AMZN, TSLA and TM, and even to megacap stars GOOG, MSFT and AAPL. In contrast, the Trefis High Quality Portfolio is a collection of 30 stocks. Outperformed the S&P 500 every year At the same time. Why so?
