In a note devoted to US fashion players, Jefferies reiterates its 'buy' recommendation and $80 price target on Tapestry, judging in particular that 'concerns about pricing at Coach are overdone'.
'Share buybacks provide visibility for EPS growth in the low double-digit range or more, and Tapestry has a significant opportunity for multiple expansion to catch up with its peers', adds the broker.
However, Jefferies says it is 'keeping an eye on rising inventories (up 9% year-on-year in recent quarters) as a potential risk to gross margin if demand momentum slows'.
