Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - UBS raised its price target on Grocery Outlet Holding (NASDAQ:GO) to $18.00 from $17.00 on Thursday, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the discount grocery retailer. The stock, currently trading at $18.47, has shown remarkable momentum with a 41% surge in the past week, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target increase follows Grocery Outlet’s second-quarter results, which showed positive traction in the company’s turnaround efforts. The retailer beat consensus expectations on same-store sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. The company’s revenue grew 8.47% over the last twelve months, with EBITDA reaching $229.5 million.
UBS noted that Grocery Outlet is already benefiting from the deployment of its real-time order guide across its store portfolio. Focused stores implementing the system have seen material in-stock improvements and approximately 200 basis points of incremental same-store sales.
The company plans to deploy a new arrival guide this fall, which will give independent operators the ability to benefit from expanded ordering windows for both everyday and opportunistic products. These initiatives have helped Grocery Outlet maintain voluntary turnover of less than 10%, despite recent challenges.
Despite the positive quarterly results, Grocery Outlet did not significantly raise its full-year outlook, which UBS suggests likely reflects conservatism rather than expected softness in the second half of the year. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is trading above its Fair Value, with a high P/E ratio of 105x.
