Why Birkenstock (BIRK) Stock Is Dropping Today

Shares of Birkenstock (BIRK, Financial) fell by 16.97% on Thursday following the release of its fiscal third-quarter 2024 results.

For Q3, which ended on June 30, Birkenstock reported revenue of 565 million euros, marking a 19% increase. The company earned a net profit of 75 million euros. Despite these positive figures, analysts had higher expectations. Birkenstock maintained its full-year financial guidance, forecasting a 19% revenue growth, a 60% gross margin, and a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Before the Q3 report, Birkenstock stock was trading at a high price-to-sales (P/S) valuation of 6.5. The stock’s recent decline may be attributed to investors taking profits given the high valuation and results that met but did not exceed expectations.

The Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio stands at 3.41. Despite the decline, the company has some strong financial metrics, such as an Altman Z-Score of 3.62, indicating financial strength, and a Beneish M-Score of -2.59, suggesting it is unlikely to be a manipulator.

In terms of market valuation, Birkenstock’s enterprise value is at $12,882.73 million. The current market capitalization is $9,466.59 million. The company’s gross margin is robust at 60.83%, and it boasts a return on invested capital (ROIC) of 3.8%. However, it is worth noting that the company’s return on invested capital is lower than its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 9.26%, hinting at potential inefficiencies.
