Warn: Primary pillar under pressure — Achieve positive adjusted EBITDA of about $8.5 million in Q4 2026: Q4 EBITDA guidance $8.5M vs $7M target.
Stitch Fix is growing revenue about 5% yearly with record client growth. It targets positive adjusted EBITDA of $7 million to $10 million in Q4 2026. The company aims to keep gross margins near 44%. It has resumed share buybacks, showing confidence.
The company remains loss-making with negative EPS and limited progress on profitability. Rising costs threaten gross margins. Revenue growth is modest and may not meet targets. The recent sharp selloff reflects market doubts.
The stock trades about 17% above our fair value near $3.2. Analysts expect roughly 10% revenue growth, but our model sees slower growth and ongoing losses. The price partly reflects optimism on turnaround progress.
