CEO and Chairman of Camping World Marcus Lemonis said, “Customers will be able to bring a shell of a van or camper to one of our nationwide SuperCenters and we will act as renovation centers and install the Adaptiv™ technology in the unit.”

On July 2, Raymond James analyst Joseph Altobello initiated coverage on the stock with a Buy rating and price target of $45 (16.8% upside potential from current levels).

Altobello said, “Camping World has been aggressively pursuing its expansion strategy and is looking to add 8-10 locations annually for the foreseeable future through a combination of both M&A and greenfield openings, while the much smaller Lazydays is also quickly expanding through both organic and inorganic means.”

The rest of the Street is cautiously optimistic about the stock with a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 4 Buys and 2 Holds. The average Camping World price target of $55.60 implies 44.3% upside potential from current levels.
