Boot Barn stock rating reiterated at Buy by BTIG on growth outlook

BTIG has reaffirmed its Buy rating and $195.00 price target on Boot Barn (NYSE:BOOT), following discussions with company executives. The retailer's stock is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 15.97 and a PEG ratio of 0.71, indicating potential undervaluation relative to growth. BTIG's Janine Stichter highlighted that ladies' boots are expected to show sequential improvement in the fiscal third quarter, while the decline in men's boots sales may be multifaceted.

The company's focus on everyday denim, as competitors shift toward fashion, has helped it gain market share. Workforce, Boot Barn's B2B operation, is seen as a significant long-term opportunity. New stores have outperformed, and earnings per share growth of mid-teens is achievable despite the recent softness in guidance. However, eight analysts have lowered their earnings estimates for the upcoming period, and Boot Barn remains profitable with strong revenue growth of 16.82% over the last year.

While several financial firms have adjusted their stock price targets, BTIG maintains its positive outlook on the retailer's potential for consistent mid-teens earnings per share growth.
