Hanesbrands is executing major transformations, including debt reduction, asset sales, and technology upgrades, positioning for margin expansion, and improved financials in 2025-2026. Recent EPS and revenue beats, plus raised 2025 guidance and a lower net leverage ratio, signal operational momentum and potential for stock price appreciation. With a net debt of $6.7 billion, a 7x FCF multiplier, a cost of debt of 6.6%, and a WACC of 7.7%, my DCF returned a fair price of $12.6 per share.
U.S. equities gained at midday after the latest report on consumer inflation came in lower than expected, boosting hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 traded at record highs, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up as well.
