Future sales growth will have to come from international expansion. The North America market is covered with 345 retail stores. Coach expects that there is space for 500 retail stores. This year another 10 stores will be added. The growth from the past can be maintained by adding 10 retails stores a year in North America.

Another confirmation there is limited need to reinvest (building equity) to enable growth.<br><br>Fiscal secondquarter earnings came in at $1.23 versus expectations of $1.28. This earnings miss resulted in a selloff (although the EPS was still 5% higher versus same quarter last year). The stock is currently trading around $49 versus a 52week high of $79. Is this a buying opportunity?<br><br>Graph 1 shows the EPS trend of the last 10 quarters. Earnings have a strong seasonality. Coach products are frequently given as gifts. Historically, in the second quarter of the fiscal year (includes the holiday months of November and December) higher sales and operating income is realized. To take out seasonality,http://www.taghkanic.org/redbottomshoes.html/, I added a trend line. Overall, quarterly EPS are clearly in an uptrend.<br><br>Graph 1: Quarterly EPS trend<br><br>First and second quarter EPS increased by 6% and 5% versus same quarter last year. Assuming a similar trend, Q3 and Q4 gives a 2013 EPS of $3.71. With a current stock price of $49 the P/E is 13 and EV/EBITDA is 7.7. For a company with the track record of Coach this is not expensive. When making an investment I try to have a line of sight to a CAGR of 15% over a fouryear period. This means that the stock has to double from my average buy price. Let's consider a few scenarios: EPS growth of 5%,red bottom shoes for cheap, 9% and 12%.<br><br>EPS Growth5%9%12%EPS (2016)$4.29$4.80$5.21P/E131619Share price (2016)$55.77$76.80$98.99With the international expansion opportunities, I expect the annual EPS growth to be somewhere between 9 to 12%. The current stock price is beginning to make Coach an attractive investment. I will initiate a position if the stock drops another 10%.<br><br>Source: Coach An Attractive Investment Opportunity<br><br>Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in COH over the next 72 hours.
