BRC Inc. stock target cut to $3 by DA Davidson, retains buy rating

On Wednesday, DA Davidson analyst Michael Baker revised the price target for BRC Inc. (NYSE:BRCC) shares, reducing it to $3.00 from the previous $5.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment followed BRC Inc.’s recent earnings report, which was deemed largely consistent with expectations. With the stock currently trading at $2.09, near its 52-week low of $2.01, InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock appears undervalued, with 10+ additional ProTips available for subscribers.

The company’s earnings call shed light on the lower-than-anticipated EBITDA guidance for 2025. With current EBITDA at $15.48 million and revenue of $391.49 million, BRC Inc. anticipates an increase in earnings during the latter half of the year as the company plans to introduce its products to new retailers and expand the distribution of its energy drinks. However, the forecast for the first quarter’s EBITDA was notably subdued, attributed to rising coffee costs, heightened marketing expenditure, slotting fees, and the cycling of some favorable transactions from the previous year. For deeper insights into BRC’s financial health and growth prospects, InvestingPro offers comprehensive analysis in its exclusive Pro Research Report.

Despite these challenges, Baker highlighted several positive aspects for BRC Inc. The growth of the company’s energy drink segment is still in its early stages but shows promise. Additionally, BRC Inc. continues to experience growth in its partnership with Walmart (NYSE:WMT). Based on these factors, DA Davidson reaffirmed its Buy rating for the company’s stock.

The new price target of $3.00, set by DA Davidson, is grounded on a valuation of 1.5 times the enterprise value to sales ratio, as projected for the year 2026. This valuation reflects the research firm’s outlook on BRC Inc.’s financial performance and market potential in the coming years.
