What De'Longhi does

Italian maker of small kitchen and home appliances including espresso machines, air conditioners and fans.

Sells through electronics retailers, department stores and online marketplaces rather than its own stores, so retailer buying and promotions drive volumes. Espresso machines are the lead category and air conditioners and fans a weather-dependent seasonal one. The De Longhi family controls the group.

Products and services

  • Espresso/coffee machines
  • Air conditioners/climate control
  • Kitchen appliances (mixers, air fryers)

Customers

  • Home appliances
  • Small kitchen & climate control…

What could go right

What could go wrong

  • Consumer discretionary spending cyclicality
  • Input/component cost inflation

Moat: narrow (brand, distribution). Strong brand recognition in premium home espresso machines and licensed Braun/Kenwood product lines.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
