Mavi: a mispriced story with solid fundamentals (BUY - reinitiation of coverage)
We reinitiate coverage of Mavi with a BUY rating and a 12M price target (PT) of TRY 127. As the leading denim and casual lifestyle brand in Türkiye, we view the company as a solid growth play with strong brand management, a retail-focused strategy with a seamless omnichannel presence, and a best-in-class sourcing model. Despite the challenging conditions in the domestic market, we expect Mavi to navigate these tough times without seeing a major dent in its profitability, and look for better results starting in 2Q25E. Trading at 2.7x our 2025E adjusted EV/EBITDA and a 6.9x 2025E P/E, we believe the current valuation of Mavi reflects a slow growth period in 2025E, and a highly-bearish outlook for its medium-term prospects.Mavi Giyim Sanayi ve Ticaret AS is a Turkey-based company, which designs and manufactures apparel and accessories, under the Mavi brand, for both women and men.
