Stock Recommendation
The company has delivered a 6-month and one-year return of ~-49.29% and ~-19.45%, respectively. The stock is trading lower than the average price of the 52-week low-high range at $75.81-$167.15.
The stock has been valued using EV/Sales multiple based relative valuation (on an illustrative basis), and the target price so arrived reflects a rise of low double-digit (in % terms). A slight premium has been applied to peer average EV/Sales multiple (NTM) (Peer Average), considering its store expansion plans, growth investments, digital offerings, and decent liquidity position.
Considering the factors above, we give a “Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current market price of $80.48 per share as of 28th March 2022 (Time: 2:22 PM (GMT+10), Sydney, Australia).
Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
