Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
On Tuesday, DA Davidson analysts lowered the price target for Malibu Boats stock (NASDAQ: MBUU) to $33 from the previous $43, while maintaining a Neutral rating. This adjustment comes as the company navigates a challenging retail environment, reflected in the stock’s significant 33% decline over the past six months. According to InvestingPro data, seven analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates downward.
Malibu Boats recently reported its fiscal third-quarter results and revised its guidance for fiscal year 2025. The company cited sluggish retail sales entering the main selling season as a primary reason for the negative revision.
Despite these challenges, Malibu Boats is managing factors within its control. The broader macroeconomic environment, however, remains less than ideal for a significant recovery in the sector, according to DA Davidson analysts.
The new price target is based on an enterprise value to EBITDA multiple of 6.0 times the estimated fiscal year 2026 EBITDA of $105.5 million, compared to the consensus estimate of $111.3 million.
Malibu Boats shares have remained relatively stable following the announcement of its fiscal third-quarter results and the updated guidance.
