Avory & Co, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter said that they have a positive outlook on Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE: CPRI) because of the commendable efforts of its management that was manifested and made the company survive the hard times under the pandemic, and that this type of execution could put the company ahead and kicking for a lot more years to come.

Here is what Avory & Co has to say about Capri Holdings Limited in their Investor Letter:
“John Idol, was amongst the most nimble and resilient CEOs in 2020. Capri, as most of the retail sector, faced various challenges; 1) Supply disruptions in their leather goods as a result of the large impact covid had on Italy, 2) Dwindling demand as brick and mortar locations were forced to shut down globally and 3) Debt due in December of 2020. John acted quickly and reduced his cost base through global furloughs, delayed reopenings, turned to social selling and clienteling, was able to refinance all the debt in 2020 and pushed it out multiple years, along with getting their three brands, Jimmy Choo, Versace, and Michael Kors to positive or mid negative single-digit comparable sales by August. Coming out of Covid Capri is a leaner business. Versace is realizing positive sales, and they now expect 2020 to be a profitable year. We believe that this type of management execution can and should totally transform the narrative around this company for many years to come.”
