Privately held Vineyard Vines is the subject of an &l;a href=&q;http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbertoni/2018/04/10/how-vineyard-vines-built-a-giant-brand-without-raising-a-penny-of-equity&q;&g;entrepreneurial tale&l;/a&g; in the April 30 issue of &l;em&g;Forbes&l;/em&g;. What does its success tell investors about the public market for apparel manufacturers and apparel vendors? It might remind us that any business going from cold to hot overnight could just as easily go the other way. Such fashionable outfits as Abercrombie &a;amp; Fitch, the Limited and Wet Seal were once hot and then not so hot.
If you must invest in something stylish, go for a blue chip like &l;strong&g;Ralph Lauren&a;nbsp;(RL)&l;/strong&g; rather than a fast grower like &l;strong&g;Lululemon Athletica (LULU)&l;/strong&g;. Lauren has shrunk its footprint recently, but it&s;s still a solid business; its enterprise value (market capitalization plus debt minus cash) is an affordable 8 times earnings before depreciation, interest and taxes. Lulu&s;s multiple is 19.

Berkshire Hathaway owns shares of GM, and another popular value play the company has snapped up recently is�Apple�(NASDAQ:AAPL). The iPhone-maker trades at a P/E value of 17.5, still significantly less than the�S&P 500 at 24.6. Apple is the most profitable company in the world, generating profits of about $50 billion a year, and it's sitting on an unmatched cash hoard of $285 billion, or $163 billion when subtracting its debt. Deducting the net cash balance gives the stock a P/E of just 14.2. In other words 19% of the company's market value is just the net cash on the balance sheet, so you can subtract that to get the P/E of the business which gets you a P/E of 14.2.���Apple is so big and profitable that significant growth has become difficult, but the company still has growing revenue streams like its Services segment, which is made up of things like the App Stores, iTunes, and Apple Pay, and its brand strength -- Interbrand ranks it as the most valuable brand in the world --��as well as its economic moat and cash flow all hold appeal to value investors.
