Capri\u2019s market capitalization at Wednesday\u2019s close was $4.06 billion.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The merger with<br \/>\n        Tapestry<br \/>\n       (TPR) would leave the combined company better placed to compete with the likes of<br \/>\n        LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitto<br \/>\n       (LVMHF) and Gucci parent<br \/>\n        Kering<br \/>\n       (PPRUY).<\/p>\n<p>Capri, which also owns fashion brands Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo, was due to report fiscal-first-quarter earnings Tuesday but rescheduled to Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The transaction is expected to close in calendar 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Capri stock was down 39% year to date as of Wednesday\u2019s close, but they are rocketing 56% in Thursday morning trading. Tapestry stock, which had climbed 8.3% so far in 2023, is tumbling 12% Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, either company can terminate the merger agreement if it isn\u2019t completed by Aug. 10, 2024. However, if Capri agrees to a better offer or scuttles the deal under certain circumstances, it is obligated to pay Tapestry a termination fee of $240 million in cash, according to a form Tapestry filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Jefferies analyst Ashley Helgans wrote in a note to clients on Thursday, \u201cWe view the deal as positive for CPRI shareholders, but are surprised TPR would want to acquire the [company] given existing brand similarities, momentum with current strategy, and potential execution issues.\u201d Helgans has a Hold rating on Capri stock, and a Buy rating on Tapestry.<\/p>\n<p>TD Cowen\u2019s Oliver Chen views the deal as an attractive one, adding that it is unlikely there will be other bidders for Capri, given that some of its largest brands\u2014such as Michael Kors\u2014are in need of a revamp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe\u00a0TPR\u00a0has prior turnaround capabilities, a leading customer data platform, China momentum, and can add greater cultural relevance and brand heat to Michael Kors,\u201d Chen wrote in a note to clients. Chen has a Market Perform rating on Capri stock, and an Outperform rating on Tapestry stock.<\/p>\n<p>On a call with investors on Thursday, Tapestry\u2019s management team said it was already in conversations over how to modernize Michael Kors and drive engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion deals have been in vogue in recent years, most notably as French luxury giant<br \/>\n        LVMH<br \/>\n       acquired Tiffany in 2021. Tiffany was a key contributor to the 10% profit growth posted by the group\u2019s Watches &amp; Jewelry segment in the first half of 2023, LVMH said when it reported earnings last month. <\/p>\n<p>Rival European fashion group Kering announced a deal to buy a 30% stake in Italian luxury fashion house Valentino for 1.7 billion euros ($1.87 billion) in July. It includes an option to buy 100% of Valentino by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>To date, LVMH owns 75 luxury brands, including 14 major fashion houses, including Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Celine,<br \/>\n        Christian Dior<span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       and Marc Jacobs. Kering owns 13, including Gucci, Balenciaga, and Saint Laurent. And as these companies grow their holdings, they have also expanded their global reach, including encroaching on market share in the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>Tapestry\u2019s acquisition will better position the American company to compete with its European counterparts, analysts say. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe addition of Michael Kors cements TPR as the number one player in the accessible luxury handbag market in the U.S. by a wide margin,\u201d wrote Ike Boruchow, analyst at Wells Fargo. \u201cFurther, the addition of Versace (and to a lesser extent Jimmy Choo) add luxury assets to TPR\u2019s portfolio that will help them better compete with European luxury houses such as Kering and LVMH.\u201d Boruchow rates both Capri and Tapestry stock at Outperform.<\/p>\n<p>Per the companies\u2019 press release, the acquisition enhances Tapestry\u2019s portfolio in the pure-play luxury segment, and expands its global reach, especially in Europe and Asia. On a pro forma basis, the combined company generated global annual sales of over $12 billion across more than 75 countries in the last fiscal year. <\/p>\n<p>The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Tapestry\u2019s adjusted earnings per share, the company said. Tapestry also expects to save $200 million in operational synergies within three years after the deal closes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSynergies are always easier said than done, so this will clearly bear monitoring, but if there were ever two companies to enjoy synergies, TPR and CPRI align,\u201d wrote BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel in a note to clients. Siegel has an Outperform rating on Capri stock, and a Market Perform rating on Tapestry.<\/p>\n<p>Write to Callum Keown at callum.keown@barrons.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/articles\/capri-stock-tapestry-coach-versace-7ecadc08?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Versace owner Capri Holdings\u2019 stock surged more than 50% Thursday after it agreed to be acquired for $8.5 billion by rival Tapestry, parent of the Coach brand.
