Price Target

Last month, BMO Capital analyst Gerrick Johnson maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of $65 (59.2% upside potential).

Johnson said, “We think 2022 should benefit from continued interest from new buyers, trade-ups from recent new buyers, and the release of pent-up demand from existing RVers crowded out of the market during the pandemic owing to the influx of new buyers.”

Consensus among analysts is a Strong Buy based on 4 unanimous Buys. The average Camping World price target stands at $56.75 and implies upside potential of 39% to current levels.

Smart Score

Camping World scores a “Perfect 10” from TipRanks’ Smart Score rating system, indicating that the stock has strong potential to outperform market expectations.
