TD Cowen maintains Richemont stock Buy rating, CHF210 target

On Tuesday, TD Cowen reaffirmed its positive stance on Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA (JO:CFRJ) (CFR:SW) (OTC: CFRUY), maintaining a Buy rating and a price target of CHF210.00. The luxury goods maker, currently valued at $110 billion, is trading above its InvestingPro Fair Value, reflecting strong market confidence in its growth prospects. Stifel analysts highlighted the luxury goods company’s effective use of its investments in the supply chain to introduce increased speed and innovation within the firm. They noted that Richemont (SIX:CFR)’s prominent jewelry brands, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, which contribute approximately 70% of sales, are positioned to achieve sustained long-term growth. This growth is expected to be driven by store expansions and innovative "platform" product development, alongside the brands’ appeal to high-end customers.

The analysts believe that Richemont is well-placed to capture market share gains due to its supply chain agility and innovation at its leading luxury jewelry brands. Moreover, Richemont is anticipated to benefit from a consumer shift towards spending on hard luxury items, such as jewelry, over handbags. This shift is attributed to the perceived value and enduring worth of gold, which may become a priority for consumers in uncertain economic times.

TD Cowen’s analysis projects a 7% organic growth for Richemont in the coming year, an increase from the 5% growth estimated for this year. This forecast includes a 3% growth in the Asia-Pacific region, compared to a 10% growth in the Americas. The firm also estimates that Richemont will achieve operating margin leverage on mid-single-digit percentage sales growth. With a strong financial health score of "GOOD" from InvestingPro, and a current ratio of 2.52, the company appears well-positioned to execute its growth strategy.

In other recent news, Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA has seen several positive developments. The company reported a strong sales performance, with Citi analysts noting a 10% year-over-year growth in third-quarter sales, which increased to 16% when excluding Mainland China. This strong performance has led Citi to raise its price target to CHF193, maintaining a Buy rating. Similarly, Bernstein analysts increased their price target to CHF190, citing Richemont’s robust performance and strategic focus on hard luxury items.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) also upgraded Richemont’s stock from Equalweight to Overweight, raising the price target to CHF200. The analysts highlighted the company’s strong financials and growth potential, with revised earnings estimates for fiscal years 2025 to 2027. TD Cowen analysts increased the price target to CHF210, emphasizing Richemont’s resilience in the U.S. market and strategic supply chain investments. They also anticipate an 18% earnings per share growth for the next fiscal year ending March 2026.

The upgrades and revised targets from these firms reflect a positive outlook on Richemont’s financial performance and growth potential in the luxury market.
