: YETI | YETI Holdings, Inc.  News, Ratings, and Charts

YETI – Outdoor products company YETI (YETI) has raised its 2022 EPS outlook, but the company is expected to suffer from the inflationary environment and supply chain issues. So, let’s evaluate if it is wise to bet on the stock now. Read on.

YETI Holdings, Inc. (YETI) in Austin, Tex., designs, markets, retails, and distributes products for the outdoor and recreation market. The company has completed a $100 million share repurchase and raised its adjusted EPS guidance range to $2.86 – $2.91 from $2.82 – $2.86 and expects its sales to be up 18% to 20%. However, its trailing-12-month levered FCF margin is negative versus a 3.60% industry average.

The stock has declined 24.9% in price over the past three months and 52.3% over the past nine months to close yesterday’s trading session at $47.76. In addition, it is currently trading 56.1% below its 52-week high of $108.82, which it hit on Nov.5, 2021. Also, it is currently trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages of $51.56 and $75.34, respectively, indicating a downtrend. So, YETI’s near-term prospects look uncertain.

Here is what could influence YETI’s performance in the upcoming months:

Favorable Analyst Estimates

For the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2022, analysts expect YETI’s EPS and revenue to grow 23.4% and 19.6%, respectively, year-over-year to $0.79 and $433.76 million. In addition, its EPS is expected to grow at 13.9% per annum over the next five years. Furthermore, Wall Street analysts expect the stock to hit $71.92 in the near term, indicating a potential 50.6% upside.

Top-line Growth Does not Translate into Bottom-line Improvement

YETI’s total revenue has increased 19% year-over-year to $293.60 million for its fiscal first quarter, ended April 2, 2022. The company’s adjusted operating income declined 13% year-over-year to $38 million, while its adjusted net income decreased 12% year-over-year to $29.20 million. Also, its adjusted EPS came in at $0.33, down 13% year-over-year.

Stretched Valuation

In terms of forward P/S, YETI’s 2.44x is 161.1% higher than the 0.94x industry average. Its 5.87x forward P/B is 135.9% higher than the 2.49x industry average. Furthermore, the stock’s 2.36x and 1.17x forward EV/S and P/CF are higher than the 13.33x and 9.24x industry averages.

Bottom Line
