Tapestry: A High-Quality Luxury Goods Cheaply Valued

Luxury goods concern Tapestry (TPR) has an average ‘Buy’ rating from the 19 research firms that cover it. However, the stock has declined more than 14% year-to-date and currently looks undervalued at its current price. So, with Wall Street analysts projecting a potential upside in the stock, I think it could be a quality addition to one’s portfolio now. Let’s discuss in detail.

Luxury goods company Tapestry, Inc. (TPR) in New York City is a luxury accessories and branded lifestyle products provider in the United States, Japan, China, and globally. The company operates through the segments of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, offering women’s accessories and novelty accessories.

TPR has received an average recommendation of ‘Buy’ from the 19 research firms that cover it. Moreover, 11 investment analysts have rated the stock as Buy, while only five have rated it Hold.

TPR’s stock has declined 14.9% in price year-to-date and 8.8% over the past month to close yesterday’s trading session at $34.54. However, it has gained 2.4% over the past five days.

So, is the stock a buy now?
