Baird upgraded Capri Holdings to Outperform following a 13% share drop on Tuesday, calling the selloff excessive. The stock trades near nine times forward EBITDA, which Baird considers undemanding given depressed earnings. The firm maintained its $26 price target. Capri reported fiscal third-quarter results that beat Baird's estimates by approximately 2% on sales and EBIT, with earnings per share exceeding expectations by 4%. Gross margin declined 230 basis points year-on-year, within guidance, due to tariff-affected goods. Michael Kors showed sequential improvement in global retail sales, with management citing double-digit growth in full-price items. Baird expects Capri to return to revenue growth in fiscal 2027, supported by improving retail trends and ongoing brand investments.
The filing period for 2023 tax returns is in full swing, and the most eager filers may have already received their tax refund. If your client likes the idea of getting that refund each year – perhaps they view it as kind of a surprise bonus – you’ll want to remind them that a refund is really an interest-free loan to the government. With savings accounts paying a meaningful interest rate these days, they might be better off having control of their money sooner.Conversely, your clients who owe money this year may be waiting until the last possible moment to file to earn an extra bit of interest on their savings. But owing too much may mean being assessed an underpayment penalty, and with the IRS interest rate on underpayments currently at 8 percent annually, it’s a cost they would do best to avoid. Regardless of which camp your clients are in for 2023, this is the perfect time of year to help them think through a better tax payment strategy for 2024. YOUR REQUIRED ANNUAL PAYMENT
