VF Corp. Experiences Revision in Its Stock Evaluation Amid Competitive Footwear Landscape

VF Corp., a small-cap player in the footwear industry, has recently undergone a valuation adjustment. The company's current P/E ratio stands at 22, while its price-to-book value is reported at 3.33. Other key financial metrics include an EV to EBIT of 17.99 and an EV to EBITDA of 8.73, indicating its operational efficiency. The company also boasts a notable dividend yield of 11.30%, alongside a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 9.17% and a return on equity (ROE) of 15.45%.
In comparison to its peers, VF Corp. presents a mixed picture. While its P/E ratio is lower than that of On Holding AG, which is significantly higher, it is also above the valuations of Skechers U.S.A. and Kontoor Brands, both of which are considered very attractive. This context highlights the competitive landscape within the footwear sector, where VF Corp. is navigating challenges, particularly in terms of stock performance relative to the S&P 500. Over the past year, VF Corp. has seen a decline of 27.84%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 14.08%.
