Another View: Prada On Earnings Multiples
The first take presents Prada as 23.5% undervalued against a fair value of HK$49.86, yet the earnings multiple shows a tougher picture. The stock trades on a P/E of 13.7x versus 8x for the Hong Kong luxury sector and a fair ratio of 10.1x.
That gap means buyers today are paying a richer price than both peers and the fair ratio suggest, while the DCF and analyst targets point to upside. Which crowd do you trust more: the cash flow modellers or the earnings multiple comparisons?
