  • Kering (ENXTPA:KER) Valuation Check After Share-Price Weakness and Mixed Returns
    January 17, 2026, 10:24 AM EST. Kering (ENXTPA:KER) has faced renewed pressure as shares weaken. The luxury group's stock slid 4.21% in the latest session, with momentum fading over the past week, month and three months, though the 1-year total return remains positive at 22.07%. The valuation shows a P/E around 48.6x, near peers at about 53.8x. The market implies a Fair Value of €296.45 versus a last close of €288.70, a small gap. Analysts' targets range from €135.0 to €360.0, with a consensus near €200.65. Risks include revenue declines across key brands and ongoing store closures, which could pressure margins. A roughly 2.6% undervaluation signal persists, modest in the face of the earnings multiple.
