Highlights

The presenter is long shares of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA (CFR SW) as he believes the market is underappreciating consistent sales growth from its jewelry segment while mistakenly looking at CFR merely as a “watch company.” Shares are trading at CHF75 or 10.6x 2022 consensus EBITDA, a discount to other companies in the luxury goods industry. He sees CFR outperforming current street expectations and its EBITDA multiple expanding to mid-to-high teens. He models a price target of CHF150 on the high end in the next 18-24 months, representing 100% upside from current prices.

CFR engages in the manufacturing and retail of luxury goods through three primary segments, namely: jewelry (e.g., Cartier, Van Cleef), specialty watches (e.g., IWC, Piaget.), writing instruments and other segments (e.g., Mont Blanc, Chloé). CFR’s business also includes 90% of online distributor Yoox Net-a-Porter, an acquisition which was completed in 2018 for $3.3B. While Net-a-Porter is a loss incurring business, the presenter believes the market is overestimating the losses since the company is running amortization on P&L. At the same time, the market is underappreciating the jewelry segment which has seen strong growth numbers over the last 6 years.
