The thesis, in brief
BUY(accumulate)/$130 (+35%) on Q1 FY27 (Mar-FY). UGG+HOKA; 35% ROIC, net cash, no div, buys back ~8%/yr. ~12.8x FY27E = 2nd-cheapest footwear (only CROX lower) & 4th pctile of own P/E hist, because HOKA decel to +8% (from ~20%). Market prices a STALL that hasn't happened (still growing HSD, HOKA gaining share >$120). DCF ~$162 base / ~$129 even if HOKA stalls = all above spot. Tariff ~150bp GM hit. Medium conviction (HOKA=swing; falsifier=HOKA flat 2 qtrs)

We value Deckers Outdoor using P/E (fair ~17x) + FCF/DCF. The 12-month fair value is set from that intrinsic estimate first, then compared to the market to read the upside or downside — never anchored to the current price.
