Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
On Tuesday, UBS analyst Jay Sole increased the price target for Stitch Fix , Inc. (NASDAQ:SFIX) to $5, up from the previous $3, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The adjustment follows Sole’s assessment of the company’s revenue trends, which appear to be declining at a slower rate. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently has a market capitalization of $566 million and maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.85, indicating strong short-term liquidity.
Stitch Fix, a personal styling service that leverages algorithms and expert stylists to curate clothing for its customers, has been undergoing a period of negative revenue growth. However, Sole’s recent channel checks suggest that the severity of this downward trend may be diminishing.
Despite this slight improvement in revenue trends, Sole believes that the current stock price already reflects these developments. For the third quarter, UBS forecasts a revenue decrease of 3.5% year-over-year, which is slightly more pessimistic than the consensus estimate of a 2.3% decline. The earnings per share (EPS) for the same period are expected to align closely with consensus views.
Sole also highlighted potential risks and opportunities for Stitch Fix in the near term. On the positive side, management’s cost control efforts could lead to an earnings beat for the third quarter if they outperform expectations. Additionally, there is a possibility that the company’s guidance could be more favorable than anticipated.
Conversely, there are concerns about the impact of tariffs, particularly given Stitch Fix’s significant sourcing exposure to China. Any greater than expected negative effects from tariffs could pose a downside risk to the company’s financial performance.
The options market suggests that Stitch Fix shares will experience a price movement of plus or minus 11.7% around the earnings announcement, scheduled for June 10, 2025. This is a smaller fluctuation compared to the historical average move of plus or minus 17.7% on earnings day. With a beta of 2.01, the stock’s inherent volatility is confirmed by InvestingPro analysis, which rates the stock’s current Fair Value slightly above its trading price.

In other recent news, Stitch Fix reported stronger-than-expected financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.05, significantly beating the forecasted -$0.17, and generated revenue of $312.1 million, surpassing the anticipated $297.3 million. This positive performance led to an increase in the company’s full-year revenue guidance, now projected to be between $1,225 million and $1,240 million. Despite a 16% year-over-year decline in active clients, Stitch Fix noted improvements in key areas such as average order value and revenue per active customer. Management highlighted the success of new private brands and expanded product categories, which contributed to the company’s improved margins. Analysts from Bernstein maintained a Market Perform rating with a $5 price target, while Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities reiterated an Underperform rating with a $3 price target, citing ongoing challenges in the company’s turnaround strategy. Both firms acknowledged the sequential improvements in Stitch Fix’s performance but expressed caution about the company’s future growth trajectory. These developments reflect a notable shift in Stitch Fix’s operational efficiency and strategic direction amidst a challenging retail landscape.
