Airsculpt Technologies Faces Revenue Challenges and Strategic Adjustments Amid Macroeconomic Pressures

Leerink Partners analyst Whit Mayo reiterated a Hold rating on Airsculpt Technologies, Inc. (AIRS – Research Report) today and set a price target of $2.50.

Whit Mayo has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Airsculpt Technologies, Inc. The company’s fourth-quarter results highlighted ongoing challenges, including a significant miss in revenue and EBITDA expectations, alongside a decline in same-store sales. These issues are compounded by macroeconomic pressures and internal missteps that have affected the aesthetic market, leading to a reduction in volumes and an increase in the time required to convert leads to cases.
To address these challenges, Airsculpt is pausing new center openings to concentrate on improving sales at existing locations. The management plans to reinstate marketing efforts and implement new strategies to enhance sales and marketing training. Despite some early signs of improvement, such as better lead volumes in January, the company is still facing near-term hurdles. Consequently, Whit Mayo has adjusted the financial estimates and lowered the price target, reflecting the ongoing uncertainties and the need for strategic adjustments.
