Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
On Wednesday, Truist Securities analysts increased the price target for Thor Industries Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:THO) to $86 from $78, while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock. The decision follows the company’s solid fiscal third-quarter performance and its reaffirmation of fiscal year 2025 guidance. According to InvestingPro analysis, Thor Industries is currently trading slightly below its Fair Value, with a P/E ratio of 22.48x and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.3x.
The analysts noted that Thor Industries’ management provided stable retail trends for April and May, contributing to the decision to raise the price target. They see the company’s fiscal year 2026 revenue and EBITDA growing year-over-year, assuming a stable market environment. However, InvestingPro data reveals that analysts anticipate sales and net income declines in the current year, with eight additional key insights available to subscribers.
Despite the positive outlook, Truist Securities remains cautious about Thor Industries’ ability to improve margins and profitability. The analysts highlighted concerns about the company’s recent market share losses and emphasized the need for more evidence of improvement before considering a more favorable rating. This aligns with InvestingPro data showing a modest gross profit margin of 14.21%, though the company maintains a FAIR overall Financial Health Score.
Thor Industries shares are currently trading at approximately 6.5 times the estimated 2026 EBITDA and 14.5 times the estimated 2026 EPS. The analysts believe these valuations are not particularly high but require further assurance of the company’s financial performance.
The Hold rating reflects a balanced view of the company’s current valuation and the potential for future growth, contingent on improved market conditions and operational performance.
