Chewy downgraded to Hold following Q4 earnings report
Deutsche Bank downgraded Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) to Hold from Buy and cut its price target to $35.00 from $41.00.
The company’s shares closed more than 5% lower yesterday and are currently trading 6% lower pre-market despite the company reporting its Q4 results, with EPS/revenue beat. Users declined by approximately 120,000 during the quarter and pricing was the primary upside driver across the P&L.
According to Deutsche Bank, most concerning was the outlook for 2023, suggesting that while users will flip positive this year, the magnitude of that user growth is likely tepid at best.
“While we appreciate that the macro environment remains an overhang to user growth at the moment, in order to confidently underwrite upside to either estimates or valuation, which sits at ~35x 2024 EBITDA, we believe investors need confidence in the user growth trajectory, something that is in short supply for Chewy at the moment,” said the firm.
AMC Entertainment resumed with Sell at Citi
Citi resumed coverage on AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) with a Sell rating and a price target of $1.60.
While the firm suspects AMC may be able to reduce leverage as the U.S. box office recovers and via equity issuance, they believe the company’s common equity is overvalued at prevailing levels.
