Purple Innovation Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Purple Innovation's revenue will grow by 3.0% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts are not forecasting that Purple Innovation will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate Purple Innovation's profit margin will increase from -20.1% to the average US Consumer Durables industry of 7.7% in 3 years.
• If Purple Innovation's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $41.0 million (and earnings per share of $0.38) by about May 2028, up from $-97.9 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 6.7x on those 2028 earnings, up from -0.7x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Consumer Durables industry at 8.9x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.06% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 11.41%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Purple Innovation Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Despite efforts to improve, Purple Innovation's net revenue declined by 11.6% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year, impacted by overall industry softness and challenging consumer demand, which could further pressure revenues.
  
• The company's exposure to U.S. tariffs, albeit limited, poses a risk of $2 million to $5 million in additional costs, which could affect net margins if not effectively managed through supply chain adjustments or pricing actions.
  
• E-commerce, a significant channel for Purple, faced softer results year-over-year and converts at a lower rate than other channels, indicating potential revenue growth difficulties in this increasingly crucial sales avenue.
  
• Wholesale revenue was down 23% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, highlighting ongoing pressures in channel performance that could impede revenue growth and market share expansion.
  
• With a history of operating losses and a current focus on restructuring to stabilize finances, the company remains vulnerable to macroeconomic pressures that could adversely affect earnings if industry conditions do not improve.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $1.85 for Purple Innovation based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $5.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $1.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $533.4 million, earnings will come to $41.0 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 6.7x, assuming you use a discount rate of 11.4%.
• Given the current share price of $0.66, the analyst price target of $1.85 is 64.2% 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.
