Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$373middle half of models $311 – $440
Fair
−2.4% to fair value
Average of the 15 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is High, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.
Peak-cycle earnings: the current operating margin is more than 1.5x its 7-year average, so multiples applied to today's profit may overstate value; model uncertainty is set to High

What this means
Strong business at a fair price
The price sits inside our fair-value band. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.

SWOT analysis: Ralph Lauren Corp
Strengthsinside the company
- Return on invested capital is 48.9%, against a median of 41.1% for industry peers.
- Earnings per share have compounded at 25.9% a year over three years.
- Cash exceeds debt (net debt is negative), which gives room to invest or ride out a downturn.
- Operating profit covers interest 22x, so debt costs are a small drag.
Weaknessesinside the company
- No clear weakness in the figures we track.
Opportunitiesvaluation and setting
- Revenue growth picked up to 14.6% last year from 8.0% a year over three years.
- Price momentum is strong on the weekly and monthly signals (trends can reverse).
Threatsvaluation and setting
- Trades at 23.8x earnings, 52% above the 15.7x median of industry peers, so the price already assumes better results.
- Valuation uncertainty is high: the models give widely different values, so the fair value range is wide.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Consumer Discretionary
RL ranks #9 of 47 in Consumer Discretionary and #3 of 4 in Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.
