Re: What's Athleta worth? Spin value > Total Market Cap = activist?

How do you get to $1.6B in sales for Athleta? I see trailing 9 months of just over $1B and have not seen 4q of last year disclosed. Still seems as if $1.3-1.45B is a
What's Athleta worth? Spin value > Total Market Cap = activist?
Athleta was the only bright spot during the quarter - accelerating comps to 41% vs 2019 and sales +47% vs. 2019. Adding 30 new units a year and in the fastest TAM segment of retail.

It's not a sell on a fundamental basis at these levels, but the thesis is changed. The biggest change is that Old Navy had much more benefit from stimulus than we appreciated and we think... login to read the rest
Where are you seeing a bunch of negative data points on ON?
I think, in general, that there's been a moderation in 2019 comp growth for retail in the July-Sept period vs the March-June period. I'd... login to read the rest
Curious if any updated thoughts here. A bunch of negative data points on ON relating to current topline trajectory, but there is probably a price where it's too cheap that notwithstanding...
this would be my concern---re reasons that a separation/spin might not happen. not necessarily a surprise, but seems like a bad reason. Whatever the incremental financial beneifts are to core GAP (cross-sell/shared overhead) -hard to... login to read the rest
Shared functions were certaintely in place between Old Navy and Gap at the time. Is that what you're saying? Or that there's a lot shared at Athleta that will need to be recreated?

Apologies if covered in Dayton question, but asked another way, does this investment work if GPS does not separate Old Navy/Athleta? Seems unusual that either will get the multiple you note that they should in
How are you thinking about the stand alone value of Athelta and ON individually under the Power Plan 2023?
Is GPS the cheapest unit store growth story in consumer?
Thank you.
If it were me:
I would spin Athleta. According to Dealreporter, they think could be worth $25/sh.
Keep Old Navy only. 7x EBITDA (AEO/ANF) is $28/sh.
Sell Gap to Tadashi Yanai. Who knows for what.
Shut down Banana.

thx for your response
i read further - they plan on 5% of sales as Capex for "loyalty, tech and digital". I want to like this story - as you say, there is a banality of cutting... login to read the rest
They're leaning in hard to ecomm. It's the right long term move to invest in warehouse / distribution infrastructure / tech so that they're not a dinosaur 5 years from now. And yes, they're playing a bit of... login to read the rest

Not sure. But interesting implied value of Athleta based on Fabletics. In the mid-$50/sh stock price I laid out, I was valuing Athleta at $7b vs the $9.4b suggested below. $9.4b would push value to... login to read the rest
Reconciling Gap Brand negative value vs. Yeezy Positive NPV
At what point in the growth of yeezy partnership or stand-alone store reduction margin expansion, will the sell side have to take their head out of the sand and start to value GAP at something
