Scenario range: $6.54 (bear) to $16.31 (bull), the price of $20.35 sits above it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target.

What moves the price
The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat.
The share trades about 4% below its 52-week high and 61% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average.
For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −7% fair-value upside, at −46%, VFC screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Bear$6.54Fair Value $11.04Bull$16.31
Price $20.35 · Downside -45.7%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2026 figures (about 7 months old). Earnings retained since then ($0.1946 per share) are deliberately not added.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency.

What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: adjusted.

Growth Forecast
A lot of optimism in the price
The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far and more than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+14.2%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+2.1%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +11.6% a year for the price and −0.3% for the forecasts.
News mood ⓘNews mood, the average tone of recent news (98 articles), rated against how stocks are usually covered. 🚀 Hype = unusually upbeat · 🙂 Positive = above average · 😐 Neutral = typical · 🙁 Negative = below average · 😨 Very negative = unusually downbeat. It reflects the tone of coverage, not our valuation.Positive
Recent news coverage is more positive than average.
AI conclusion: Outdoor brands and margin gains from the transformation form the main support, while thin net returns and high leverage limit durable advantage signals.
Main risk: Rivals such as Hoka and Nike SB could continue capturing shelf space and consumer preference from Vans, reducing demand and pressuring margins on its core footwear products.
VF Corporation's growth increasingly depends on its outdoor brands such as The North Face and Timberland offsetting ongoing softness at Vans. The company has reduced debt and expanded margins through its transformation, yet the latest quarter showed a revenue beat alongside an earnings miss. Will the stronger outdoor segment deliver enough lift for a full recovery, or will the active brands continue to constrain results?

Our models discount VF Corporation at 11.1 %: a base by market capitalisation (mid), damped by beta 1.58, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For VF Corporation that is +14.2 % per year for five years, then slowing evenly to 2 % by year ten, using the same discount rate (11.1 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has VF Corporation (VFC) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at VF Corporation grew +0.8 % a year. The price currently implies free-cash-flow growth of +14.2 % per year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.

The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 6.27 %: that much free cash flow VF Corporation produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (11.1 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.

For VF Corporation it is $11.04 per share (as of Nov 6, 2026), against a price of $20.35. It is the blended result of 22 valuation models in 7 families (DCF Models, Earnings-Based, Dividend Discount, Multiples, Growth DCF, Economic Profit, Growth Earnings).

What is the P/E ratio of VFC?
VF Corporation trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.9 (as of Nov 6, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $11.04 is built from several models across several years. Excluding one-off items of fiscal year 2026 it is 24.2 (reported for FY2026: 31.9). Median P/E at fiscal year-end, 6 fiscal years (2020 to 2026), earnings ex one-offs: 28.8. Other multiples: PEG 0.4, P/B 4.4, P/S 0.8, EV/EBITDA 12.0.
What is the PEG ratio of VFC?

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?
The global stock market currently sits 13.0% above its aggregate fair value. VF Corporation itself currently trades above fair value. An expensive market is no reason to stay out and no reason to buy everything at once: keep a broad savings plan running, buy single stocks only with money you can do without, and hold part of your money liquid while the market is high. The full picture including sectors is on is it worth investing now.

What should I pay attention to with VF Corporation right now?

A fairly wide model range ($6.54 to $16.31) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
