On Wednesday, Canaccord Genuity adjusted its stock price target for Stitch Fix , Inc. (NASDAQ:SFIX), increasing it to $6.00 from the previous $5.00, while retaining a Hold rating on the stock. The adjustment comes after the company reported fiscal first-quarter results that exceeded expectations.
Active customers were slightly above consensus, and both revenue and adjusted EBITDA surpassed estimates, even though year-over-year figures for active clients and revenue were down by double digits. According to InvestingPro data, the company's revenue declined by 16% in the last twelve months, though the stock has shown strong momentum with a 29% gain year-to-date.
The company's recent performance has been attributed to its strategic turnaround efforts. Management has focused on enhancing the quality and freshness of inventory, adding flexibility to the Fix experience, and employing more personalized marketing and engagement strategies.
These initiatives have led to heightened engagement across Stitch Fix's Freestyle and Fix channels, with a notable increase in customer reactivations, particularly due to a new marketing campaign titled "Retail Therapy," which aligns with the company's rebranding efforts.
InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.8, indicating strong short-term liquidity to support these initiatives. For deeper insights into Stitch Fix's financial health and growth potential, subscribers can access the comprehensive Pro Research Report.
Stitch Fix also plans to strategically reinvest part of the profitability gains from the first quarter into advertising to further stimulate growth. Looking ahead, the company provided an optimistic forecast for the second quarter, with revenue and profitability projections surpassing consensus.
Moreover, full-year guidance for both revenue and profitability has been modestly raised. The company reaffirmed its expectation to return to revenue growth by the end of fiscal 2026.
Despite the after-hours rally in SFIX shares, Canaccord Genuity remains cautious, citing limited visibility and the potential impact of one-time factors on the first-quarter results. Nevertheless, the firm acknowledges the significant progress Stitch Fix has made in its turnaround efforts and the positive operational momentum demonstrated in the recent quarter.
InvestingPro data indicates the stock is currently in overbought territory, with additional technical indicators and insights available to subscribers.
