Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:

“As we await the judge’s deliberations in the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) case regarding Tapestry’s acquisition of Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI), (up 28.3%) the evidence from Capri’s first quarter earnings release again suggests the fundamentals are weak, particularly in the Michael Kors division (interestingly a point stressed during the FTC hearings). There was no reason to change our Capri analysis, as we had fully factored such weakness after we updated it post the full year results. Tapestry’s results were far more impressive. Tapestry’s management also stressed its commitment to the Capri deal and highlighted that over the prolonged acquisition period (due to the FTC case) it had identified more synergies. Interestingly, whilst we slashed our Capri valuation by 26% last quarter, when we look at the value of Tapestry (on a combined entity basis), and not having any regard for those additional synergies, our valuation has increased as a result of the better than expected core Tapestry earnings stemming from its Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands.”
