Lovesac Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Lovesac's revenue will grow by 9.3% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 1.7% today to 3.1% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $27.5 million (and earnings per share of $1.68) by about April 2028, up from $11.6 million today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting $34.2 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting $20.7 million.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 18.1x on those 2028 earnings, down from 25.1x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Consumer Durables industry at 8.0x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 4.87% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 9.44%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

• The company's cash flow and balance sheet, though currently solid, could face pressures if inventory levels remain elevated and do not align with consumer demand, affecting net margins and profitability.
