Analyzing the Louis Vuitton Buyout of Tiffany Part 5: Conclusion
In my network of friends / family / colleagues, I’m most often known as ‘The Investment Guy’.
Because of this, I’m often asked about the latest trend in investing, whether would it be years ago, gold and silver, the Greek Crash a couple of years ago, or more recently, weed stocks and cryptocurrency.
To see our other videos in this series, where I give my thoughts on weed stocks, crypto, diversification, retirement plans and more, click here.

A couple weeks ago we valued the Coty buyout of Kylie Cosmetics at a $1.2 billion valuation.
A couple of weeks ago we started an analysis of Tiffany & Co (TIF) after it announced and agreed to a $16 billion buyout by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMUY).
In Part 1, I did a full preliminary analysis of Tiffany using the preliminary analysis checklist I’ve developed over the last 12+ years.
In Part 2, I explain what all the metrics and terms on the checklist mean and why they’re on the list.
In Part 3, I explained what the cash conversion cycle is and why its so important.
In Part 4, I explained what Enterprise Value is, why its so important, what it shows, and how to calculate and use it yourself.
Today, we wrap up this case study by giving you my concluding thoughts on the Louis Vuitton buyout of Tiffany and its value.
“If you were to invest in the company (Tiffany) today the amount you could expect based on the profitability metrics compared to the company size – in this case, enterprise value – is only 1.8% based on free cash flow 4.6% based on operating profit.” One of my quotes from the video below.
