Analyzing The Tiffany & Co Buyout By Louis Vuitton
Part 2 of Analyzing The Tiffany & Co Buyout By Louis Vuitton

In my network of friends / family / colleagues, I’m most often known as ‘The Investment Guy’.

Because of this, I’m often asked about the latest trend in investing, whether would it be years ago, gold and silver, the Greek Crash a couple of years ago, or more recently, weed stocks and cryptocurrency.

A couple weeks ago we valued the Coty buyout of Kylie Cosmetics at a $1.2 billion valuation.

Last week we started an analysis of Tiffany & Co (TIF) after it announced and agreed to a $16 billion buyout by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMUY).

In today’s Part 2, I explain what all the metrics mean, and why they’re on my preliminary analysis checklist.

To view the previous video in this series where I do the preliminary analysis and give my initial thoughts on Tiffany, go here.

“If you were to invest in the company (Tiffany) today, the amount you could expect based on the profitability metrics compared to the company size – in this case, enterprise value – is only 1.8% based on free cash flow 4.6% based on operating profit.” One of my quotes from the video below.
