Lovesac holds $45 target despite mixed fiscal 3Q25 results

On Thursday, The Lovesac Co. (NASDAQ:LOVE), currently valued at $421 million, maintained a Buy rating and a $45.00 price target from Canaccord Genuity, despite the company reporting mixed results for the fiscal third quarter ending November 3, 2024. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis, despite trading at a P/E ratio of 43.19. The furniture retailer experienced revenue that fell short of both guidance and expectations. However, profitability exceeded estimates due to continued expense discipline.

Lovesac's recent quarter showcased market share gains and robust quote growth, although actual sales conversions did not meet projections. This was attributed to cautious consumer purchasing behavior. Despite these challenges, Lovesac has successfully launched new product innovations, which have contributed to both repeat business and the attraction of new customers.

The company's management has observed that the Cyber 5 period, typically a significant sales window for retailers, was challenging for the furniture sector. Lovesac has remained committed to its strategy of capping discounts at 30%, avoiding deeper price cuts.

This disciplined approach has helped maintain a healthy gross profit margin of 58% and moderate debt levels, as revealed by InvestingPro analysis. As a result of these factors, the outlook for fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and profitability is less optimistic than previously anticipated and below the guidance implied earlier.

Shares of Lovesac faced downward pressure following the earnings report. The company's forward visibility remains constrained due to the uncertain timing of a recovery in the furniture category. Nevertheless, with an expanding product portfolio, efforts to increase brand awareness, and an Investor Day scheduled for the following week to discuss the long-term strategic plan, Canaccord Genuity believes Lovesac is laying the foundation for consistent operational performance and improved market sentiment as the industry stabilizes.
