Oil prices push higher amid worries over Russian supply disruptions
Investing.com’s Fair Value analysis has once again demonstrated its power to identify significant market opportunities. In February 2025, our models flagged Guess?, Inc. (NYSE:GES) as significantly undervalued, leading to a remarkable 65.65% return over just six months. This success story exemplifies how our Fair Value methodology helps investors identify optimal entry points and understand a stock’s intrinsic value. For investors seeking similar opportunities, our Most undervalued list continues to highlight promising investments across the market.
Guess?, a global lifestyle brand specializing in contemporary apparel and accessories, showed strong fundamental potential when our models identified the opportunity. At the time, the company reported annual revenue of $2.99 billion and EBITDA of $247.5 million, despite experiencing a challenging period with its stock down 21.3% in February 2025. Our Fair Value analysis indicated a significant upside potential of 50.59% from the then-trading price of $10.16.
The subsequent performance validated our analysis comprehensively. From the February signal through August 2025, GES shares climbed steadily to reach $16.83, delivering a total return of 65.65%. This appreciation was supported by strong fundamental performance, with the company’s revenue growing to $3.05 billion in the most recent quarter. The stock’s movement was particularly impressive given its previous downward trend, demonstrating the accuracy of our Fair Value assessment.
Recent developments have further supported the investment thesis. Guess? beat second-quarter estimates, driven by robust European revenue growth. The company has attracted attention from potential acquirers, with WHP Global expressing interest in a possible deal. Additionally, several analysts have revised their price targets upward, with Telsey raising its target to $16.75.
