• While analysts broadly agree that Booztlet is effective for inventory clearance and margin protection, they may be underestimating the platform's potential to unlock significant long-term operating leverage as it scales, turning Booztlet from a margin-dilutive clearance channel into a high-volume, lower-cost driver of both revenue and net margin, particularly as multi-category purchases and average basket size expand.
  
• Analyst consensus anticipates moderate benefits from customer growth and geographic expansion, but current trends in active customer acquisition outside the Nordics suggest an accelerated trajectory that could double Boozt's addressable market over the coming years-this, along with improving consumer confidence, could produce outsized revenue growth and sustained higher margins as Boozt develops entrenched brand loyalty in new regions.
  
• Boozt is poised to capitalize on the rapid consumer shift to online fashion and lifestyle retail in Northern and Central Europe; its premium brand positioning and robust proprietary logistics infrastructure give it unique pricing power and cost advantages as weaker players exit, setting the stage for outsized top-line growth and increasing market share.
  
• Investments in advanced AI-driven personalization and automation are not only reducing costs but are likely to drive a structural increase in lifetime customer value through enhanced engagement, loyalty, and higher frequency purchasing rates-resulting in a compounding effect on both earnings and net margins.
  
• With sustainability and responsible sourcing becoming central to consumer choices in the fashion sector, Boozt's tangible progress in sustainable logistics, inventory management, and curated category offerings positions it as a premium consolidator of market share, improving its competitive moat, reducing working capital needs, and ultimately supporting both revenue and margin outperformance.

Boozt Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• This narrative explores a more optimistic perspective on Boozt compared to the consensus, based on a Fair Value that aligns with the bullish cohort of analysts.
• The bullish analysts are assuming Boozt's revenue will grow by 7.7% annually over the next 3 years.
• The bullish analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 4.4% today to 4.9% in 3 years time.
• The bullish analysts expect earnings to reach SEK 500.4 million (and earnings per share of SEK 7.26) by about August 2028, up from SEK 361.0 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the more bullish analyst cohort, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 14.6x on those 2028 earnings, down from 16.5x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the GB Multiline Retail industry at 20.7x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 4.1% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.59%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Boozt Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• A combination of lower gross margins due to high levels of inventory clearance through Booztlet and persistent high marketing cost ratios, especially for non-fashion categories with muted returns, indicate risks to long-term net margins and overall profitability.
  
• The continued weak demand in Boozt's core Nordic markets, affected by low consumer confidence and more pronounced declines in Denmark, combined with limited sales growth or even declines in new geographies, suggests slower long-term revenue growth.
  
• Boozt's reliance on third-party brands, with no direct sourcing in U.S. dollars, limits its ability to capitalize on favorable FX rates or cost deflation, leaving the company exposed to supplier pricing power and supply chain cost pressures that could erode gross margins and earnings.
  
• High return rates common in online fashion retail, heightened competition-particularly from ultra-fast fashion players-and the growing shift by brands toward direct-to-consumer models may constrain Boozt's product exclusivity and pricing power, impacting both revenue and gross margins.
  
• Increasing regulatory and social focus on sustainability, as well as evolving privacy rules, could push up operational and compliance costs while making it harder to leverage personalized marketing, putting pressure on both customer acquisition effectiveness and net margins over time.

Valuation

• The assumed bullish price target for Boozt is SEK110.0, which is the highest price target estimate amongst analysts. This valuation is based on what can be assumed as the expectations of Boozt's future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors from analysts on the bullish end of the spectrum.
• However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of SEK110.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just SEK85.0.
• In order for you to agree with the bullish analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be SEK10.3 billion, earnings will come to SEK500.4 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 14.6x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.6%.
• Given the current share price of SEK95.45, the bullish analyst price target of SEK110.0 is 13.2% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
