Birkenstock stock rating reiterated at Buy by Stifel on strong growth

Investing.com - Stifel has reiterated its Buy rating on Birkenstock Holding plc (NYSE:BIRK) with a price target of $66.00, citing the company’s brand strength and growth potential. According to InvestingPro data, analysts’ targets range from $57.39 to $80.38, with 5 analysts recently revising their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period.

The research firm highlighted Birkenstock’s position as "the global casual footwear winner," noting the company added €1 billion in revenue over the past four years, reaching an estimated €2.1 billion revenue rate for fiscal year 2025. The company’s strong momentum is evidenced by its impressive 17.6% revenue growth and robust gross profit margins of 59.33%.

Stifel pointed to Birkenstock’s industry-leading 26.5% adjusted EBIT margin, which significantly outperforms the lifestyle brands average of 12%, attributing this advantage to the company’s differentiated model with wholly owned manufacturing facilities.

The firm expressed confidence in Birkenstock’s long-term goal to double its business every five years, describing it as a "credible target" based on consistent product representation and the company’s favorable fourth-quarter pre-announcement indicating near-term revenue strength.

Stifel also noted that Birkenstock’s recent manufacturing facility acquisition "future-proofs the supply chain at an attractive cost," contributing to what the firm describes as a "compelling" risk/reward profile with a low double-digit EV/EBITDA multiple that "represents a solid entry point" for investors.

In other recent news, Birkenstock Holding Ltd reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings, exceeding earnings per share (EPS) expectations with a result of €0.69 compared to the forecasted €0.61, representing a 13.11% surprise. However, the company’s revenue did not meet expectations, totaling $635 million against the anticipated $641.2 million, a shortfall of 0.97%. BTIG reiterated its Buy rating and set a price target of $72.00 for Birkenstock, following an investor meeting at the company’s Munich headquarters. The firm emphasized Birkenstock’s growth potential, particularly in exploring new opportunities across product and distribution channels. BTIG noted the company’s disciplined approach to business fundamentals rather than focusing solely on short-term growth. These developments indicate a mixed but optimistic outlook for Birkenstock as it navigates its financial performance and strategic growth opportunities.
