Sam Poser has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Boot Barn’s strong growth potential and strategic improvements. The company is expanding its store count significantly, with a goal to nearly double its locations by 2030, indicating a robust growth trajectory in the retail sector. The new CEO, John Hazen, is implementing strategic changes, such as enhanced merchandise planning and the use of traffic counters to improve conversion rates, which are expected to drive further performance improvements.
Moreover, Boot Barn’s financial outlook is promising, with better-than-expected guidance for FY26. The company is effectively managing tariff impacts by reducing its reliance on Chinese sourcing and increasing sourcing from Mexico, where tariffs are not applicable under USMCA. Despite anticipated tariff headwinds, Boot Barn plans to strategically increase prices and manage inventory levels to maintain profitability. These factors collectively support Sam Poser’s optimistic Buy rating for Boot Barn’s stock.
In another report released today, Citi also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $180.00 price target.
