In a report released yesterday, Alexander Perry from Bank of America Securities reiterated a Hold rating on Fox Factory Holding (FOXF – Research Report), with a price target of $31.00.
Alexander Perry has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Fox Factory Holding’s performance. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings per share exceeded expectations, driven by better-than-anticipated results in the legacy bike and Powered Vehicle Group segments. However, despite these positive results, there are ongoing challenges in the end markets, particularly with continued pressure in the Specialty Sports Group and Powered Vehicle Group sectors.
While there is growth in the Aftermarket Applications Group and contributions from new partnerships, such as the one with Major League Baseball, these are counterbalanced by flat sales in the bike segment and headwinds in the powersports market. The company’s price objective was lowered due to weak end market demand, and the overall sector’s valuation multiples have compressed. Perry’s Hold rating reflects the belief that while there are cyclical tailwinds, such as potential interest rate cuts, the near-term market challenges remain significant.
In another report released on February 28, Robert W. Baird also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $32.00 price target.
