Margins Hold At 5% On Higher TTM Earnings

  • On a trailing twelve month basis, net income is US$61.7 million on US$1.23b of revenue, which works out to a 5% net margin compared with 4.4% a year earlier.
  • What stands out for the bullish view is that TTM earnings rose from US$49.6 million to US$61.7 million while margins moved to 5%, which lines up with the idea of improving profitability, yet
    • bullish investors looking for margin expansion often point to AI driven personalization and owned brands, and the step up in TTM EPS from US$0.70 to US$0.87 fits that angle numerically,
    • but the margin is still in single digits, so any future cost pressure on things like tariffs or logistics, as flagged in the bearish risks, would quickly show up in that 5% figure.
Have a look at how optimistic investors connect these margin trends to future upside in their detailed case for the stock. 🐂 Revolve Group Bull Case

Premium P/E Versus Peers Despite 5 Year Earnings Drag

  • The shares trade on a P/E of 28.2x while earnings have declined on average by 15.9% per year over the past five years, even though they grew 24.5% over the last year.
  • Bears often argue that paying 28.2x earnings for a retailer with that five year earnings record looks demanding, especially since
    • the current P/E sits above both the peer average of 16.1x and the broader US Specialty Retail industry at 20.6x, which means the market is assigning a clear premium,
    • and if earnings growth settled closer to the more cautious assumptions in the bearish narrative, that premium could be hard to justify against peers that trade on lower multiples.

DCF Fair Value And Analyst Targets Versus US$24.36 Price

  • The current share price of US$24.36 sits about 14.8% below the DCF fair value of roughly US$28.58, while analysts are cited with a price target of US$30.93, implying a gap of around 27% to that target.
  • Consensus style thinking in the supplied material leans on that mix of improving TTM earnings and a 5% margin to argue there is room between US$24.36 and both the DCF fair value and the US$30.93 target, yet
    • the same data also shows forecast earnings growth of around 12.7% per year and revenue growth of about 7.7% per year, which is described as lower than the wider US market figures that are quoted,
    • so the implied upside assumes that this more modest growth and single digit margin profile is still enough to support a valuation that remains above industry P/E levels.
