Investment Thesis — Coty Inc.
The market is overly focused on Coty's historical underperformance and debt burden, failing to fully price in the impact of recent strategic divestitures and operational streamlining. We believe the company is poised for a significant turnaround, with its core beauty brands undervalued relative to future profitability and deleveraging potential.

- Further significant debt reduction announcements
- Successful revitalization of key prestige and mass beauty brands
Risk Factors
