** Morgan Stanley resumes coverage of Italy's Brunello Cucinelli BCU.MI at "overweight" with PT of 95 euros ($112.59), sees group as "one of the structurally strongest growth stories in luxury"
** Group's structural strengths remain "intact", as shown by recently reported Q4 sales and "solid" brand momentum, it says
** Brunello Cucinelli set to outgrow the luxury sector again in 2026 through an expected 10% revenue growth at constant exchange rates vs 5-6% forecast for the sector, it notes
** Concerns over the impact of Brunello Cucinelli's Saks Global exposure, standing at around 8% of its sales, is "likely overstated" and "should fade as restructuring clarity improves", it adds
** Shares up 0.35% at 80.98 euros on Tues; down 18% YTD and 33% over one year
** "The recent price dislocation represents an attractive entry point, rather than a reason to shy away from the premium multiple" - MS
