Capri Holdings Ltd qualifies for both the Defensive Investor and the Enterprising Investor. The Defensive Investor is only initially concerned with the poor dividend history. The Enterprising Investor is only concerned with the lack of dividends. As a result, all value investors following the ModernGraham approach should feel comfortable proceeding with the analysis.
As for a valuation, the company appears to be Undervalued after growing its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $2.81 in 2015 to an estimated $3.9 for 2019. This level of demonstrated earnings growth outpaces the market’s implied estimate of 2.06% annual earnings growth over the next 7-10 years. As a result, the ModernGraham valuation model, based on the Benjamin Graham value investing formula, returns an estimate of intrinsic value above the price.
At the time of valuation, further research into Capri Holdings Ltd revealed the company was trading above its Graham Number of $34.96. The company does not pay a dividend. Its PEmg (price over earnings per share – ModernGraham) was 12.62, which was below the industry average of 46.49, which by some methods of valuation makes it one of the most undervalued stocks in its industry. Finally, the company was trading above its Net Current Asset Value (NCAV) of $-2.14.
Capri Holdings Ltd performs fairly well in the ModernGraham grading system, scoring a B.
