Analyzing the Louis Vuitton Buyout of Tiffany Part 3: Cash Conversion Cycle
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.
Two weeks ago 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 Part 1 I did a full preliminary analysis of Tiffany using the preliminary analysis checklist I’ve developed over the last 12+ years.
In Part 2 I explain what all the metrics and terms on the checklist mean and why they’re on the list.
Today, I do a full explanation of the cash conversion cycle (CCC) from the preliminary analysis checklist and tell you why its one of the most important metrics I look at, and how you can gain a massive advantage over others because almost no one else even talks about it.
“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.
