Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 31.5%

Levi Strauss is trading at US$16.91, significantly below its estimated fair value of US$24.7, making it potentially undervalued based on cash flows. Despite a strategic review of its underperforming Dockers brand and slower revenue growth forecasts compared to the market, Levi's earnings are expected to grow substantially at 45.4% annually over the next three years. However, current profit margins have declined from last year, and dividends remain inadequately covered by earnings.

Despite slower revenue growth forecasts compared to optimal levels, earnings are expected to grow significantly at 64.84% annually over the next three years. Recent insider selling raises concerns, but Snap's share repurchase program worth up to US$500 million could potentially enhance shareholder value as it aims for profitability within three years.
