QuickView: A slow recovery, but the right strategy

Mulberry has had a difficult couple of years, culminating in the departure of the CEO in March 2014. However, following on from the thesis published in our sector report Challenging the internet premium, we believe that in combination, its focus on product and stores, supported by its recent investment in supply chain management, could prove to be the correct strategy. This is no quick fix, with the benefit only expected to be seen in the year to March 2016. However, its strong balance sheet (£23.4m cash) provides good financial support to the investment.
