Approach 1: Tapestry Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model looks at the cash Tapestry is expected to generate in the future and then discounts those projected cash flows back to today to estimate what the business might be worth right now.

For Tapestry, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach based on cash flow projections. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $1.65b. Analysts have provided explicit forecasts out to 2028, where free cash flow is projected at $1.69b, and Simply Wall St then extrapolates this further using smaller growth adjustments to build a 10 year path of cash flows in dollars.

When all those future cash flows are discounted back, the DCF model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of $133.50 per share. Compared to the current share price, this implies the stock is around 12.1% overvalued according to this framework.

Result: OVERVALUED

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Tapestry may be overvalued by 12.1%. Discover 47 high quality undervalued stocks or create your own screener to find better value opportunities.

Approach 2: Tapestry Price vs Earnings

For a profitable company like Tapestry, the P/E ratio is a useful way to relate what you pay for each share to the earnings the business is currently generating. It gives you a quick sense of how many dollars the market is willing to pay for one dollar of earnings.

What counts as a "fair" P/E usually depends on how fast earnings are expected to grow and how risky those earnings are. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can justify a higher P/E, while slower growth or higher risk often point to a lower P/E.

Tapestry currently trades on a P/E of 57.99x. That is higher than the Luxury industry average of 20.73x and also above the peer group average of 24.71x. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for Tapestry is 29.77x, which is its proprietary estimate of what the P/E could be given factors like earnings growth, industry, profit margin, market cap and risk profile. Because Fair Ratio incorporates those fundamentals directly, it can be more tailored than a simple comparison to peers or the industry alone.

Comparing the current P/E of 57.99x to the Fair Ratio of 29.77x suggests the shares are trading above that fair range.

Result: OVERVALUED
