Kering SA Summary

Key Announcement

Kering SA has appointed Luca de Meo as the new Group CEO, effective September 15, 2025. Current Chairman François-Henri Pinault will remain Chairman. This follows a process initiated in early 2023, with initial meetings in early 2025.

Rating and Price Target

Bernstein assigns a Market-Perform rating with a €170 price target for KER.FP.

Analyst's View

De Meo's appointment could enact significant change, addressing sectoral structural issues and focusing on priorities like resolving Deputy CEO roles and restructuring brand-level capital expenditure. However, Kering emphasizes that the current strategic plan may not experience a revolution, potentially limiting transformative potential and disappointing investors.

Investment Implications

• Downside Risks: Delayed execution on Gucci revival, demand moderation for transition brands, and higher risks with Chinese consumer preferences.
• Upside Potential: Faster Gucci recovery or consumer demand rebound could drive share price up.
• Rating is Market-Perform, based on a target P/E of 18.8x and forward EPS forecasts.

Risks and Valuation

• Downside: Execution risks from leadership changes, economic headwinds, and regional demand issues.
• Upside: Successful turnaround at Gucci and consumer recovery.
  Valuation methodology uses a relative P/E multiple to the MSCI Europe index. Current price is €192.88, target €170.00.
