@kab604 615 is a very good bid imo, I sold in the 500s because I was not sure the stock was going anywhere. Sometimes you can have wonderful fundamentals and the stock goes nowhere (which is often the case with LSE stocks).
@orrdavid Those investors who say this is cheap are in for a rude awakening. Cheap can get cheaper, especially if fundamentals decline. LULU is facing some stiff competition out there.
There are risks. The tide of retail turns quickly and selling shoes is a competitive business.
But $DECK has executed well over past few years. They are also committed to share repurchase, and they have a good track record of share repurchase.
Part 2
Started buying $DECK . Costs around $11.5 bn.
Growing top and bottom line, debt-free and with approx 2 bn of cash. $4.7 bn left on repurchase mandate (~40% of market cap). Company's EPS guidance assumes repurchases of an amount equivalent to at least 80% of FCF. (Part 1)
@taobanker My estimation of fair value: assuming discount rate of 8%, and 0% growth with 3-4% buybacks for the next 5 years, is approximately $100-110. No growth has been built in at these prices. If $DECK continues to buyback at a greater pace-which it should-it will take off.
@Monolith_Cap i usually agree with your analysis on companies, but this is wrong. It was a small buyback. Just because SKHY didn’t rise that much is not an indication that the AI trade is in trouble. Memory is still a bottleneck.
