Bitcoin hits record high over $124k on rate cut bets, corporate treasury cheer
Tuesday, The Lovesac Co. (NASDAQ:LOVE) stock, currently trading at $18.06, retains its Buy rating and a $35.00 price target from DA Davidson, as analyst Thomas Forte reaffirmed the company’s outlook. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $34 to $45, suggesting significant upside potential from current levels. Forte’s assessment comes after Lovesac reported its third-quarter results for fiscal year 2024 back in December and subsequently revised its fourth-quarter outlook for January 2025 downwards due to lower-than-expected holiday conversion rates. Despite recent challenges, InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong financial health with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations and a healthy current ratio of 1.49.
The analyst anticipates that Lovesac’s upcoming fourth-quarter report, scheduled for April 10, 2025, will align with the revised expectations. With the fourth quarter now past, the focus shifts to whether Lovesac is experiencing positive trends that align with the broader home furnishings industry data.

Forte’s reiteration of the Buy rating and price target is based on an enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiple of 8.5 times against his 2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimate. He notes that product innovation will likely be a topic of interest on the upcoming earnings call, particularly early results from the recliner introduced in November and the anticipation surrounding the EverCouch, which is expected to launch in mid-2025.
The analyst also points out that Lovesac is part of DA Davidson’s special situations S.T.A.M.P.E.D.E. product under the "Activists" category. This categorization is due to the 5% ownership stake held by Anson Funds, an activist investor that has engaged in discussions with Lovesac’s management regarding various aspects of the company’s business.
