According to Zyberno, LEVI STRAUSS & CO. (LEVI) shows a Value Trap signal — AVERAGE BUSINESS (64/100) with an apparent Margin of Safety of +46.2%, but a Brina Gap of -10.9% reveals the current price still assumes faster growth than the business can deliver.
According to Zyberno's DCF model, LEVI STRAUSS & CO. (LEVI) trades at $21.29 against an estimated intrinsic value per share of $39.55 — a +46.2% Margin of Safety based on Owner Earnings of $490.60M TTM, projected at 36.0% growth for 10 years with a 2.5% terminal growth rate. The Brina Gap of -10.9% weakens the case: based on the company's ROIC (19.8%) and reinvestment rate (-33.1%), the business can fundamentally grow at -6.6% — but the current enterprise value implies the market expects 4.4%. This places LEVI in the Value Trap quadrant of the Brina Matrix — a value-trap signal where the apparent discount is undermined by overpriced growth expectations. Zyberno's model translates this into a 5-year expected return of 35.8% annually.
Over the trailing twelve months, LEVI generated $490.60M in Owner Earnings. Capital was deployed as follows: $217.80M paid as dividends, $214.20M invested in capital expenditures. Reinvestment rate: -33.1%. Owner Earnings have grown at 36.0% annually over the trailing five years using log-linear regression.
