William Blair analyst Phillip Blee has maintained their bullish stance on ARHS stock, giving a Buy rating on April 29.
Phillip Blee has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Arhaus’s strategic positioning and financial resilience. Despite the softer first-quarter results and lowered fiscal 2025 guidance, Blee sees potential in the company’s ability to manage tariff-related challenges and its strong domestic manufacturing presence. With only a small percentage of goods sourced from China, Arhaus is less exposed to tariff risks compared to its competitors, which positions it well in the current macroeconomic climate.
Furthermore, Blee is optimistic about the company’s long-term growth potential and its capacity for earnings upside. The company’s healthy cash flow and strong balance sheet provide flexibility amid uncertainty, and its valuation suggests room for multiple expansion. Additionally, the recent hiring of a new CFO is expected to bring stability and improve margin visibility after a period of significant investment, supporting the stock’s current levels with potential for future gains.
In another report released on April 29, Stifel Nicolaus also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $11.50 price target.
