Coach Inc: $COH cash flow valuation

Current Price: ~ $63/share
Projected Yield: ~ 1.45%




Coach is a manufacturer, distributor, and retailer focused on handbags and leather accessories in an assortment of styles. Its products offer the quality of higher luxury brands but at more attractive price points. Although around 60% of sales come from its more than 345 North American retail stores and more than 120 outlet stores, Coach also sells its products through department stores, international shops, the Internet, its catalog, and Coach stores in Japan and China.       


I estimated the firm's WACC today at 16.48% using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the company's recent SEC filings.

The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 16.48%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $13387 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $24 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $13363 million.  $13363 million / 292 million outstanding shares is approximately $46 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $37/share.


Scenario 2
All else being equal, assume the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 15% per year, then growth in FCF of 9.50% per year forever: :
