AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look for a business I can understand, with durable brands, honest accounting, and a price that leaves room for error. Interparfums sells fragrances under recognized names like Coach, Jimmy Choo, Montblanc, and Lanvin. That is a decent consumer-defensive niche, but brand dependence and marketing execution shape the moat. The balance sheet is a genuine strength: debt-to-equity is only 0.15, Altman Z-Score is 7.15, Piotroski F-Score is 8/9, and ROE is 19.11%. Free cash flow of $243.2M gives a 6.7% FCF yield at the $3.7B market cap. However, Graham would balk at the price. At $114.06 on 2026-10-13, the P/E is 21.81 and P/B is 4.20; FairStock's Graham Number is $56.55, implying a -101.70% margin of safety. Growth has also cooled: in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $341.0M, net income $30.5M, and diluted EPS $0.95, versus revenue $333.9M, net income $32.0M, and diluted EPS $0.99 in fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-30. In fiscal year 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $1.5B, net income $168.4M, and diluted EPS $5.24, versus revenue of $1.5B, net income $164.4M, and diluted EPS $5.12 in fiscal year 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31. FairStock's Lynch category, computed by FairStock's rules from filed annual results, is FAST GROWER, with 34.5% annual profit growth over five years and 83.5% revenue growth, but the recent filed numbers are much slower. I see a high-quality, cash-generative company at a full price.

In plain English: Interparfums makes and sells perfumes and related products under brands such as Coach, Jimmy Choo and Montblanc. The business looks financially strong: it carries little debt, generates good cash, and earns high returns on shareholder money. At $114.06 on 2026-10-13, the shares look expensive compared with the company's book value and a conservative value estimate, even though the brand portfolio and cash generation are attractive.
