Richemont

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

Investment Thesis

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.

Methodology

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.
