Kontoor Brands Acquisition Of Helly Hansen Adds Risk Into A Challenging Period
I maintain a Hold rating on Kontoor Brands due to unattractive valuation, increased leverage, and questionable capital allocation decisions. Wrangler is benefiting from the western denim trend in the US, but Lee and international sales remain weak, highlighting limited brand-building progress. The Helly Hansen acquisition raises concerns: lack of clear synergy, high purchase price, and a significant increase in net debt to $1.3 billion.
