Capri CEO rules out Jimmy Choo sale, targets double-digit margins amid 66.6% five-year stock decline

Capri Holdings CEO John Idol confirmed that Jimmy Choo will remain part of the company's portfolio during a recent conference, dismissing speculation about a potential sale. He outlined plans to improve Jimmy Choo's margins from a small operating loss to double digits, focusing on store productivity and accessories. Idol described strong brand performance, including 20% growth in North America. The comments come as Capri shares trade at $18.60, down 23.7% year-to-date and 66.6% over five years. The decision to retain Jimmy Choo as a core asset signals management's focus on fixing and growing the brand rather than divesting it. However, ongoing losses at Jimmy Choo reflect broader margin pressures affecting the group, including its Michael Kors brand, which may slow any turnaround efforts.
