Stock price when the opinion was issued
The luxury market has been weak after the post-Covid boom. Chinese consumers are a major factor. Plus, their Gucci brand wasn't resonating with consumers. Their designer tried to make the brand more into leather goods and classic fashions, but that isn't what Gucci is about. They have a new designer, so he sees upside. Long-term, he likes luxury goods for being stable and an oligopoly. It trades at 17x PE forward where mid-20s is the norm, so there's room here.
(Analysts’ price target is $22.60)
