Analysis
Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL) currently trades at $387.39, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $220.38, implying the stock looks roughly 43.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 82/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Ralph Lauren Corporation generated revenue of $8.1B at a net margin of 11.6%. Revenue grew 16.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 34.7%. Net debt stands at $1.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $150.03 (bear case) to $323.95 (bull case); at $387.39, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 2% below its 52-week high and 52% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 27% fair-value upside, at -43%, RL screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($272.12) versus Asset-Based ($30.55). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
