Five Below (FIVE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Five Below Inc has demonstrated strong sales performance, reporting holiday sales growth of 8.7% to $1.19 billion, exceeding projections with a comparable sales decline of only 3.2%. The company is expected to achieve inline sales growth of 3.0% in 2024, aided by its strategies focused on enhancing operations and merchandising efficiencies. Additionally, insights gained from the 2024 holiday season are anticipated to drive further improvements in 2025, particularly through the successful introduction of appealing gift items in the expanded Five Beyond category.
Bears say
Five Below Inc. is facing a forecasted operating margin contraction of 214 basis points, resulting in a margin of 17.9%, which reflects deterioration in profitability amid challenging macroeconomic conditions. The company is projected to experience a same-store sales decline of 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, alongside an expected earnings per share (EPS) decrease of 7.5% to $3.38, indicating struggles with consumer spending trends and possible merchandising missteps. Additionally, the shift in its price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple from approximately 21x to 16x underscores increased concerns regarding the company’s exposure to tariffs and a market environment that is less favorable for growth.
