FIVE--
The upgrade comes as Five Below reports strong quarterly earnings, with revenue up nearly 20% compared to the previous year, driven by a 7% increase in comparable sales and a 6% increase in transactions. Better inventory management resulted in a 140-basis point gain in the gross profit margin, while earnings rose 43% to an above-consensus $0.86 [2]. The company expects this momentum to continue, with a fiscal year 2025 revenue target of $4.33B to $4.42B and long-term EPS growth towards $6 by FY28.
Analysts are optimistic about Five Below's turnaround efforts, with Mitko Atanasov of Seeking Alpha noting that the company has done a "well-coordinated strategic reset that’s starting to drive higher traffic, better productivity, and stronger top-line growth." The average target price from 18 analysts is $136.02, with a high estimate of $160.00 and a low estimate of $93.00, indicating a potential 3.09% upside [2].
