Lifetime Brands (LCUT – Research Report), the Consumer Cyclical sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst yesterday. Analyst Brian McNamara from Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a $7.00 price target.
Brian McNamara has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Lifetime Brands’ recent performance and future potential. The company reported strong fourth-quarter results, with sales exceeding expectations by 5% and adjusted earnings per share significantly surpassing forecasts. This positive outcome was largely driven by improved consumer demand in December and successful execution of their online sales strategy, leading to increased e-commerce market share.
Additionally, Lifetime Brands experienced international sales growth for the second consecutive quarter, indicating a positive trend in their global operations. The company’s cutlery, tableware, and home decor segments performed exceptionally well, contributing to a 9% sequential increase in commerce sales. Despite some uncertainties, such as looming tariffs and delayed guidance, McNamara sees the stock as undervalued, suggesting that even modest positive developments could significantly impact its performance, justifying the Buy rating.
LCUT’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $6.800 to $4.810, which is a -29.26% drop .
