Levi Strauss: Uncertain U.S. Macro Backdrop Makes Me Concerned
I recommend a hold rating for Levi Strauss & Co. LEVI reported strong 4Q24 results with 12% y/y revenue growth, driven by 19% y/y DTC growth and 7% y/y wholesale growth, and margin expansion. Despite positive developments, concerns include a flat wholesale outlook for FY25 and heavy exposure to the North American market, which faces weak consumer spending.

Levi Strauss Wants To Grow MSD Next Year But Trades At 15x Earnings, Unattractive
Levi Strauss & Co. maintained positive organic revenue trends in 4Q24, driven by strong DTC and e-commerce performance, but faced higher SG&A costs due to increased advertising. The company's FY25 guidance anticipates organic revenue growth of 3.5-4.5% and improved operating margins of 11%, despite headwinds from the Denizen sale and FX. Levi trades at a high P/E of 15x, which is not justified given its modest growth rate and reliance on a favorable fashion cycle.
