Based on our peer multiples analysis with 20 valuation metrics, the model estimates COTY's fair value at $4.82 vs the current price of $2.51, implying +91.9% upside potential. Model verdict: Significantly Undervalued. Confidence: 80/100. This is a quantitative estimate, not a recommendation.
The blended fair value of $4.82 is calculated using four lenses: industry median multiples (40%), historical multiples (30%), forward estimates (20%), and quality-adjusted multiples (10%). Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations) gives a range of $4.12 (P10) to $6.22 (P90), with a median of $5.14.
COTY's current P/E of -5.7x compares to the industry median of 25.9x (14 peers in the group). This represents a -122.0% discount to the industry. The historical average P/E is 43.5x over 3 years. Signal: Deep Discount.
