Lovesac Makes A Big Deal

Lovesac (NASDAQ:LOVE) manufactures sustainable foam-filled furniture products using recycled and natural materials. The company is well-ranked among ESG investors and benefiting from a combination of factors that are leading to accelerated growth. For one, the entire furniture industry is on the brink of a massive earnings acceleration driven by its response to the trade war and rising demand for home goods. For another, Lovesac expanded upon a deal it has with Best Buy that will extend its reach and open entirely new markets.

Analyst Camilo Lyon at BTIG thinks the 3Q report is a game-changer for the company. In his view, there has been a meaningful change in the company’s margin profile that will provide leverage moving forward. Among other things, the deal with Best Buy will drive customer acquisition to the point the company will no longer be reliant on promotional selling. The combination of accelerated customer acquisition and higher-realized selling prices will not only lead to improving margins but to exponential profit growth as well.
