• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 31.2x on those 2028 earnings, up from 23.2x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Personal Products industry at 21.9x.

Risks

• Tariff exposures, particularly with the need to possibly source components outside China and various import-export implications, could increase costs and negatively impact gross margins despite mitigation efforts.
  
• Challenges with declining sales for certain brands, such as Montblanc, due to the timing of innovation might lead to unfavorable revenue comparisons and impact revenue growth.
  
• Continuing volatility in foreign exchange rates, which previously led to a negative quarter-over-quarter impact on other income and expenses, could impact net earnings negatively.
  
• Economic challenges in key markets such as Europe, particularly in France and Germany, pose risks to revenue growth in those regions.
  
• Potential disruptions from realigning the supply chain and transitioning to third-party logistics could temporarily affect operational efficiency and expenses, impacting net margins.

• Given the current share price of $120.0, the analyst price target of $162.0 is 25.9% higher.
