Equity Research · March 2026
Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, BUY recommendation with a target price of CHF 143, driven by the long-term cash generation of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels against cyclical watchmaking headwinds.
Recommendation
BUY
Target Price
CHF 143
Methodology
DCF
The valuation is primarily derived from a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, which accounts for the long-term cash generation of Richemont's premier Jewellery Maisons, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, against cyclical headwinds in the watchmaking segment. The Jewellery Maisons represent a structurally superior business with strong pricing power, inelastic demand among UHNW clients, and a moat built over decades of brand equity.
Discounted Cash Flow
Primary valuation anchored on long-term free cash flow projections for the Jewellery Maisons, discounted at a WACC reflecting Richemont's balance sheet strength and low leverage.
