Loop Capital analyst Anthony Chukumba has upgraded Five Below (FIVE) from a "Hold" to a "Buy" rating, raising the price target to $165.00 from $130.00. This move follows several recent upgrades and maintained ratings from other analysts, reflecting growing confidence in Five Below's financial performance. The latest price target from JP Morgan on July 21, 2025, was set at $154.00, expecting the stock to rise within 12 months, a possible 9.28% upside [1].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].
