THESIS Capri is a two-brand luxury turnaround trading at nine times forward earnings after slashing net debt from $1.4B to $222M via the Versace sale. Bull lever: Adjusted EPS of $0.22 doubled the $0.11 guide; gross margin expanded 490 bps; FY2027 EPS guide of $2.15 implies forty percent growth and a $200M buyback amplifies per-share upside.
