Levi’s (LEVI): Valuation Check After Beyoncé Campaign Boosts Sales, Profits and Brand Momentum
Levi Strauss (LEVI) is riding a fresh wave of attention after its global campaign with Beyonce helped lift sales and profits, especially in womenswear, giving the stock a meaningful boost this year.
See our latest analysis for Levi Strauss.
That momentum is starting to show up in the numbers too, with Levi’s share price at $22.27 and a strong year to date share price return underpinning a solid multi year total shareholder return trend, suggesting confidence is building rather than fading.
If Beyonce’s denim moment has you thinking bigger about brand driven growth stories, it is a good time to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With Levi’s trading at a double digit discount to analyst targets and annual earnings still climbing, the question now is whether investors are getting in early on a multi year run or if the market has already priced in the growth.
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 16.9% Undervalued
With Levi Strauss last closing at $22.27 against a narrative fair value near the high twenties, the story hinges on steady, margin led earnings growth.
In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 15.7x on those 2028 earnings, down from 20.3x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Luxury industry at 19.8x.
