Is PVH a Hidden Value Opportunity After 19% Share Price Slide and DCF Upside?

• Wondering if PVH is quietly turning into a value opportunity while the market looks the other way? Let us walk through what the numbers are really saying about the stock.
• Despite being down 19.2% year to date and 24.8% over the last year, PVH has bounced 10.5% in the past month and edged up 0.7% over the last week, a mix that hints at shifting sentiment and potential mispricing.
• Recent headlines have focused on PVH's strategic brand positioning and efforts to streamline its operations globally, reinforcing the idea that management is trying to sharpen the company’s long term profile. At the same time, investors are weighing how these initiatives might translate into future growth, profitability, and ultimately, what the stock is really worth.
• Right now, PVH scores a solid 5/6 on our valuation checks. This suggests it screens as undervalued on most of the metrics we track. Next, we will break down how traditional valuation approaches stack up for PVH, before finishing with a more holistic way of thinking about what the market might be missing.

Find out why PVH's -24.8% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.

Approach 1: PVH Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a business is worth today by projecting the cash it could generate in the future and then discounting those cash flows back to their value in today’s dollars.

For PVH, the latest twelve month Free Cash Flow is about $446.9 million. Analysts and extrapolated estimates see this rising to around $583 million by 2030, with interim projections such as roughly $707.1 million in 2026 and $581.6 million in 2027, before moderating in later years. Simply Wall St uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model. In this model, the first stage leans more on analyst forecasts and the second stage tapers growth to a more sustainable level.

Aggregating and discounting these projected cash flows produces an estimated intrinsic value of about $120.47 per share. With the DCF implying the stock is 29.7% undervalued, the model suggests PVH’s current share price does not fully reflect its cash generation potential.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Approach 2: PVH Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies like PVH, the Price to Earnings (PE) ratio is a straightforward way to gauge how much investors are willing to pay today for each dollar of current earnings. In general, faster growing and lower risk businesses can justify a higher PE multiple, while slower growth or higher uncertainty typically warrant a lower PE.

PVH currently trades on a PE of about 8.7x, which is well below both the Luxury industry average of roughly 21.0x and the wider peer group, which sits around 33.6x. On the surface, that large discount might suggest the market is pricing in weaker growth, higher risk, or both.

To refine this view, Simply Wall St uses a proprietary “Fair Ratio” for PVH of 18.1x. This metric estimates what PVH’s PE could be after accounting for its earnings growth outlook, profitability, risk profile, industry positioning, and market cap. Because it is tailored to PVH’s fundamentals, the Fair Ratio offers a more nuanced benchmark than simply comparing against broad industry or peer averages. With the Fair Ratio of 18.1x sitting materially above the current 8.7x, the multiple analysis indicates that PVH is trading at a meaningful discount to this benchmark.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your PVH Narrative

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation, so let us introduce you to Narratives, a simple framework that lets you write the story behind your numbers by linking your view of PVH’s brand strength, growth drivers, and risks to a concrete forecast for future revenue, earnings, and margins, and then to a Fair Value you can compare with today’s share price.

On Simply Wall St’s Community page, used by millions of investors, Narratives turn this story into a living valuation that updates dynamically as new information, like earnings, guidance, or major news, comes in. This means you can quickly see whether your Fair Value still supports buying, holding, or selling at the current market price.

For example, one PVH Narrative might lean toward the bullish analyst view, assuming successful expansion in Asia and margin gains to justify a Fair Value near the top end of price targets around $148. A more cautious Narrative might stress tariff risks, slower digital progress, and brand concentration to anchor Fair Value closer to $70. The power of Narratives is that you can transparently compare these perspectives and decide which one you believe.
