GET DAILY SIGNALSPositive outlook for 2020 as Five Below (FIVE, $125.22) delivers a superb quarter
Analysts of Buckingham Research Group, as well as KeyBanc Capital Markets, maintain an optimistic stance on Five Below with a price target lifted from $135 to $145.
Five Below’s earnings have demonstrated a consistent growth across all relevant metrics remarkable of which were an EPS of $1.59 versus an estimated $1.57 per share, and comparable store sales of 4.4% versus an estimate of 4.2%. However, management's full-year 2019 EPS guidance of $3.00 to $3.07 fell short of consensus estimates of $3.13, but factors such as multiple transitory cost pressures justly explained the drop.
Analysts further add that as long as Five Below continues to show strong unit economics, positive comps, and unit growth, investors are safe to maintain their optimistic stance on the company’s shares.
The company’s quarterly results also reveal that it is not just restricted to toys and games that account for its broad-based momentum. Further, the company’s values are not replicated by e-commerce retailers like Amazon since the retailer works with manufacturers for its own products that sell below $5.
The company now expects a 20% average annual sales growth and similar net income growth rates through 2020.
