On CAPS, 94% of the 3,120 members who have rated Coach believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Jason Moser (TMFJMo), tapped Coach as a particularly attractive value opportunity:
Still a very powerful brand in retail, plenty of international appeal and transformation into lifestyle brand should give it a longer lifespan. Change in management is a big question mark as Lew Frankfort is a major reason for the company's success to date and [chief creative director Reed Krakoff] leaving is also concerning. However [Stuart Vevers] should bring plenty of experience and a fresh set of eyes. The stock today isn't assuming much growth at all. Plenty of room to run.
