According to the latest analysis by Wells Fargo & Co analyst Ike Boruchow, there is a bullish outlook on the prospects of the luxury goods second-hand e-commerce platform therealreal (REAL.US), increasing its stock rating to shareholding. He believes that the market performance of therealreal has not fully reflected the significant changes within the company. Boruchow emphasized that with the optimization of the profit structure and the re-acceleration of revenue growth, therealreal has tremendous potential for future development.
Specifically, Boruchow delved into the operational data of therealreal, pointing out that one of the most notable changes made by the company is the increased commission rate for commodities priced below $100. This strategy not only provides greater sales incentives for high-value commodities but also significantly enhances the profit margin for low-value commodities. In addition, therealreal has adopted a series of measures to reduce debt risk, further strengthening its financial stability.
Looking ahead, Boruchow and his team hold a bullish outlook on the total trading volume trend of therealreal's commodities, expecting it to accelerate to double-digit growth. Meanwhile, they believe that measures to improve profit margins will continue to have a positive impact, laying the foundation for therealreal to achieve positive EBITDA. It is worth mentioning that therealreal has explicitly stated its commitment to achieving positive free cash flow in fiscal year 25, further enhancing investors' confidence in its future development.
Based on the above analysis, Wells Fargo & Co has set a top Wall Street target price of $15 for therealreal, showing strong optimism about the future performance of this stock. It is noteworthy that the 52-week price range of the stock is $1.52 to $6.57, while short interest accounts for 15.2% of total circulating shares. This increase not only reflects the market's positive expectations for the future development of therealreal but also highlights investors' renewed recognition of the stock's value.
