Another take on Tapestry’s valuation

That 13.3% upside case rests on earnings and margin assumptions, but the current P/E of 53.8x tells a tougher story. It sits well above the US luxury average of 18.5x, the peer average of 22.3x, and even the 29.4x fair ratio. This points to meaningful valuation risk if sentiment cools. So which signal do you give more weight to?
