Levi Strauss & Co. Value-Accretive Move Is Bullish
Levi Strauss & Co.'s sale of Dockers for up to $391 million is a strategic move that maximizes shareholder value and streamlines operations. The Dockers brand contributed little to profitability, so the sale should marginally increase Levi's profits, cash flow, and reduce net debt. Valuation multiples for the Dockers sale suggest Levi Strauss & Co shares remain attractively priced versus peers, even after recent gains.
