Analysts Urge Selling Lovesac at $17.60 as 10.3x EV/EBITDA Prices In 35% Rally

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 14

Summary

  • $17.60 Lovesac shares now look fully valued to the analyst team, which recommends selling after the stock climbed 35.1% in six months and beat the S&P 500 by 21.6%.
  • 14.8% annual revenue growth over the past five years was deemed too weak for a consumer discretionary company, while free cash flow margin averaged just 1.3% over the last two years.
  • Declining return on invested capital added to the bearish view, suggesting newer investments are generating weaker returns and limiting profitable growth opportunities.
  • At 10.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA, the team argues much of the good news is already priced in and says investors can find better opportunities elsewhere.
