Another Angle On Valuation

That $11.86 fair value from the narrative leans on future earnings and a higher P/E in several years. Today Zegna trades on a 23.4x P/E versus a fair ratio of 18.1x and a US Luxury average of 18.3x. That gap points to valuation risk rather than a clear bargain, so which signal matters more for you?
