Fast Retailing: Guidance Upgraded, Yet The Upside Seems Limited Due to Stretched Valuations

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • With discounting delayed, Fast Retailing (9983 JP)’s 3QFY22 was a surprise to the upside as its OP grew 36.5% YoY to ¥81.8bn (consensus:¥65.8bn) to exceed the pre-COVID level by 9.7%.
  • Nevertheless, the upside seems limited in the short-term, with shares already trading at a stretched valuation of 22.2x consensus FY+2 OP, compared to the historical median of 15.5x.
  • At around ¥290.0bn FY+1 OP, a fair price should be somewhere around ¥58,000-60,000, which implies a downside of around 25%.
