DRVN Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Driven Brands Holdings Inc. demonstrates a positive outlook due to its strong performance in the Maintenance segment, notably driven by Take 5 Oil Change, which recorded a significant same-store sales growth of 9.2% in Q4, outpacing the overall Maintenance segment growth of 6%. The company is also poised for expansion with anticipated net store growth between 175 to 200 locations and continuous improvements in EBITDA margins, which rose to 17.4% from previous quarters. Furthermore, successful implementation of cross-selling initiatives and effective navigation of integration challenges in its car wash and glass services could enhance its earnings potential significantly, as indicated by an expected EPS of $2.00.
Bears say
Driven Brands Holdings Inc. is facing a negative outlook due to a projected flattening of its EBITDA margin, which is expected to decline slightly from 25.5% in 2024 to 25.3% in 2025, alongside a 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance significantly below consensus estimates at $520-$550 million compared to $608.7 million. The company has reported mixed quarterly results, with sales falling short of consensus estimates and same-store sales growth underperforming expectations, indicative of deteriorating consumer confidence and discretionary income. Furthermore, challenges such as deteriorating franchisee relationships, competition, and the impact of rising electric vehicle penetration add to the uncertainty around its growth prospects and profitability moving forward.
