BARK Faces NYSE Compliance Challenge Over Stock Price: Analysts Predict 152.94% Upside

Bark Inc. received a notification from the NYSE for not meeting listing requirements due to its common stock trading below $1.00 per share. Analysts forecast an average target price of $2.33, implying a 152.94% upside from the current price. The company reported positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time, 27% YoY growth in the commerce segment, and plans to diversify revenue streams. However, Q4 revenue was lighter than expected due to tariff-related uncertainties and softening consumer sentiment.
