In normal times ...YES !
But these arn't normal times.
If Europe goes further into the brown stuff then NZ and HLG
will follow.
They are far to well managed to go under, but their div could suffer.
Oz is going through a bad patch at the moment and this might impact.
So your Q. 28.3c/0.08= $5.05.
Should be, but wont get there.
$4.50 tops.... I recon

I didn't plan it that way but you are right Lizard. The method does assume 2010-2012 is the top of the business cycle.
I picked 2008-2012 as encompassing all of the years since the GFC and hence the fairly reflecting 'new' retail environment.
In a nutshell, the method I have used assumes a 'grand plan static retail sales universe' in which NZ retailers battle the vagaries of the business cycle.
Given the long term performance of HLG, quite good in NZ, and what appears to be some success in Australia, this method is possibly pessimistic on the medium term prospects of HLG. Perhaps you might think of $5.05 as a 'lower bound' of fair value?
Countering that is the 'middle market', 'discretionary' and 'fashion edge' to the HLG business. To my way of thinking those three factors should imply a higher yield rate, maybe 9%, not the 8% I was assuming with my similar analysis on the Warehouse? I guess I am saying that in tough times I can see the WINZ office handing out Warehouse vouchers, but Glasson's vouchers? Probably not.
In summary, maybe I should bump up my expected yield by one point but then reduce it again by one point to account for the Australian growth. That brings me back to where I started: an 8% yield and a $5.05 valuation. All said from the point of view of the 'income investor' of course.

I wouldn't have though Skiers were HGL target market.
Interesting to see the valuation coming in above share price, compared to the likes of WHS (below) and RBD (about right). Apart from that one drop in 2009, they are fairly safe. From memory they have a very conservative balance sheet (ie. low or no debt) or have they done something about that now?

My point is Skier are usually "rick pricks" to borrow Labour's term who wouldn't be seen dead in Hallenstien clothing. At least the Auckland ones who drive down to the Whakapapa in their big 4WD and BMW are.

Right...
I dont think HLG target them "Rich Pricks" very much at all, anytime.
they go for the young rising set, with more of the discreationary dosh.
Their niffty short add's on TV etc dont annoy or yell. (Very effective.)
They are not aimed at the RP's. We notice (in Q.town) that these "RP's"
are generally just "P's" or Would be's if they Could be's (as we call them)
and they have no real dosh. Just a lot of show, wind and trouble.
I have just returned from Downtown Q,town. HLG had a nice display of
what I would call After Skiing Attire. the sort of stuff you would wear
when roaming the town at night etc. Not expensive at all.
And the Shop were,nt empty !! at all.
I,m soon off to Coronet Peak after lunch (in my 4 Year old Ski Gear).
The day, the snow, just great. No crowd, no wind, No "rp's" yet !!
A tip 4 u CJ.....
Never, Never trust TV1 or TV3 weather reports or forecasts for the Lakes District.
cheers BB

Big Rise so far today - up 20c and thru the last resistance of around 4.60 on slighlty above average recent volume- to think I was keeping a close eye on them thinking that the price was heading down again!
