What G-III Apparel does

Designs and markets apparel under owned brands (DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld) and licenses (Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger).

  • Owned brands (DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan)
  • Private label

Customers

  • Department stores
  • Off-price retailers
  • Own retail and e-commerce

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Wholesale and department store weakness

Moat: none (distribution). Largely a licensee/manufacturer model with thin differentiation and license renewal risk.

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.
