Telsey lowers Ethan Allen Interiors stock price target to $28 on margin pressures

Investing.com - Telsey Advisory Group reduced its price target on Ethan Allen Interiors, Inc. (NYSE:ETD) to $28.00 from $30.00 on Thursday, while maintaining its Market Perform rating on the furniture retailer’s stock. The new target sits just above ETD’s current price of $27.19, with InvestingPro data suggesting the stock may be undervalued.

The price target adjustment reflects mounting pressures on the company’s profitability stemming from rising product costs, increased tariffs, and ongoing marketing investments aimed at driving traffic to its design centers. Despite these challenges, ETD maintains impressive gross profit margins of 60.54%.

Telsey noted that while demand at Ethan Allen’s showrooms is showing signs of improvement, the company continues to face challenges in its contract business segment.

The revised price target is based on a price-to-earnings multiple of approximately 15x applied to Telsey’s fiscal year 2027 earnings per share estimate of $1.85, which was lowered from a previous estimate of $2.20. For comparison, ETD’s current P/E ratio stands at 13.49.

Telsey’s valuation multiple for Ethan Allen increased from 13.5x previously, partially offsetting the impact of the reduced earnings forecast on the overall price target. InvestingPro data shows ETD offers a substantial 6.66% dividend yield, potentially appealing to income-focused investors despite growth challenges.
