Founded in 1970, Philadelphia-based Urban Outfitters is an apparel and home goods retailer that operates more than 700 stores and e-commerce in the United States (87.5% of fiscal 2024 sales) and other regions. Its retail nameplates are Urban Outfitters, Free People, FP Movement, and Anthropologie. Retail accounted for 91% of fiscal 2024 revenue, but the firm also sells products through a wholesale operation, owns some restaurants, and operates a clothing rental and resale business called Nuuly (5% of sales). Urban Outfitters primarily markets to young adults and offers products in categories such as apparel (66% of sales), home goods (16% of sales), accessories (13% of sales), and more.

Urban Outfitters Inc

Rent the Runway (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rent#NASDAQ">RENT</a>) is a micro-cap stock whose price target was recently updated by Jefferies. This signals that the name could have nearly triple-bagger upside. According to MT Newswires, analysts at Jefferies updated their price target for the firm on Sept. 6. That target now sits at $26 per share, while the company trades at $9.31 per share. This implies that the analyst believes shares could rise 180% from their current level.
To understand this lofty target, I&#39;ll examine the&nbsp;consumer discretionary firm&#39;s operations, competitors, and financial situation.
<h2>Rent the Runway Aims to Offer Customers an &quot;Unlimited Closet&quot;</h2>
Rent the Runway (RTR) is a fashion company with a unique business model. The company is a platform where customers can rent pieces of clothing. It specifically caters to women, allowing them to rent high-priced designer garments. This allows its customers to access these garments for a much lower price than having to buy them.
This opens up the world of designer clothing to many more people, allowing many users to split the cost of those garments. RTR points out that its average customer wears clothes worth 25 times more than what they pay in subscription fees for the service annually. The company aims to provide its customers with an &quot;unlimited closet&quot; as they can swap out their garments for other ones whenever they like. It generates revenue mostly through subscriptions to this service, which cost between $94 and $235 per month.
<h2>RTR: Improving Profitability Big Time, But a Massive Competitor Is Stealing Growth</h2>
Looking at the financials of Rent the Runway, it is a mixed bag. On the positive side, the company is becoming more profitable. The company has increased its gross margin by nearly 600 basis points since fiscal year 2021. Last quarter, its adjusted EBITDA margin was over 17%. That&#39;s a 700+ basis point increase from last year.
Additionally, its free cash flow has increased massively. The number through the first six months of 2024 sits at -$6 million, compared to -$30 million in the same 2023 period. The company says it expects to break even on cash flow in 2024.
Looking at cash flow is particularly important for a firm like RTR over net income, as product depreciation expense equals 21% of its revenue. Depreciation is a non-cash expense; it is an accounting expense. So, this isn&#39;t cash that the company is spending. The company deducts it from its net income but not its cash flow.
The ultimate goal of a business is to generate positive cash rather than a positive accounting profit, i.e., net income. A company&#39;s cash flow paints a better picture of its financial situation.
However, a big problem for RTR is the fact that its active subscribers are declining. The figure fell 3% year over year last quarter. Meanwhile, competitors like Nuuly saw active subscribers grow by 55% last quarter. Nuuly&#39;s average active subscribers now sit at over 250,000, nearly double that of RTR. This is despite the fact that the company has only been active for around five years versus 15 years for RTR.
This difference signals growth in this industry, but it&#39;s not going to RTR. This means that RTR&#39;s offerings are likely viewed as inferior to Nuuly&#39;s and do not give customers the items they want.
Nuuly, owned by the massive firm Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/urbn#NASDAQ">URBN</a>), enjoys a big advantage in acquiring a variety of clothing to offer customers. This is very difficult for the small RTR to compete with. This difference in being able to offer a wider variety of options is a likely source of Nuuly&#39;s superior growth. Nuuly also has a lower price point, offering more casual clothing that can appeal to a wider audience.
<h2>RTR&#39;s Rock-Bottom Valuation Sparks Wall Street Interest</h2>
Despite its issues, it&#39;s hard to dismiss RTR&#39;s extremely low valuation. It is trading at nearly one-tenth of its projected sales over the next twelve months. This is assuredly a big reason why some Wall Street analysts place such large price targets on the firm.
Its increasing profitability is great to see, but it likely needs to see growth reaccelerate before the market will give it any credit. If it can&#39;t, this indicates that RTR&#39;s offerings to customers have fundamental issues, and the company can&#39;t expect to succeed long term. Still, its valuation makes it an interesting name to watch if it can find a way to start growing again.

Analysts See 180% Upside for Rent the Runway: Should You Buy?

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/urbn#NASDAQ">URBN</a>). Shares have added about 0% in that time frame, underperforming the S&amp;P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Urban Outfitters due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let&#39;s take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
<h3>Urban Outfitters Q2 Earnings Top Estimates, Retail Sales Up Y/Y</h3>
Urban Outfitters reported impressive results for second-quarter fiscal 2025, wherein the bottom and top lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Also, both metrics improved from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>URBN&#39;s Q2 Performance</h3>
This lifestyle specialty retailer delivered earnings per share of $1.24, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 98 cents. Also, the bottom line increased 12.7% from the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Total net sales increased 6.3% year over year to $1,351.9 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1,338 million.
Total net sales in the Retail segment rose 3.1%, with comparable net sales in this segment increasing 2%. This growth was primarily fueled by low single-digit positive gains in both digital channel sales and sales from retail stores. Specifically, comparable Retail net sales rose 7.1% at Free People and 6.7% at Anthropologie but fell 9.3% at Urban Outfitters.
In the Wholesale segment, net sales grew 15.1% year over year, primarily due to a 17.5% rise in Free People&#39;s wholesale sales, which was attributed to increased sales to department stores and specialty customers. This was, however, somewhat offset by a decline in Urban Outfitters&#39; wholesale sales.
The Nuuly segment saw a significant 62.6% increase in net sales mainly due to a 55% rise in average active subscribers from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>Margin Insights of URBN</h3>
Gross profit rose 8.3% from the prior-year quarter to $493.3 million. Also, the gross margin expanded 68 basis points (bps) to 36.5%, mainly owing to higher initial merchandise markups across all brands primarily due to the company&#39;s cross-functional initiatives. This increase was somewhat mitigated by higher Retail segment merchandise markdowns, particularly at the Urban Outfitters brand.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses were up 7.6% year over year to $348.2 million. The increase was mainly due to higher marketing expenses aimed at boosting customer traffic and sales in the Retail and Nuuly segments, as well as increased payroll costs to support the growth in comparable sales at Retail segment stores. As a percentage of net sales, SG&amp;A deleveraged 32 bps to 25.6%, mainly due to the Urban Outfitters brand&#39;s inability to reduce expenses at the same pace as its net sales.
URBN recorded an operating income of $145.1 million, up 9.9% from $132.1 million in second-quarter fiscal 2025. As a rate of sales, the operating margin increased 36 bps year over year to 10.7%.
<h3>URBN Store Details</h3>
In the fiscal second quarter, the company opened 11 retail locations, which included one Urban Outfitters store, three Anthropologie stores and seven Free People stores (including six FP Movement stores). Additionally, it closed five retail locations, which included two Urban Outfitters stores, two Anthropologie stores and one Free People store.
As of Jul 31, 2024, URBN operated 263 Urban Outfitters stores in the United States, Canada and Europe and websites; 239 Anthropologie Group stores in the United States, Canada and Europe, catalogs and websites; 205 Free People stores (including 45 FP Movement stores) in the United States, Canada and Europe, catalogs and websites; nine Menus &amp; Venues restaurants; seven Urban Outfitters franchisee-owned stores; and two Anthropologie Group franchisee-owned stores.
<h3>Financial Details of URBN</h3>
Urban Outfitters ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $209.1 million and a total shareholders&#39; equity of $2.24 billion. As of July 31, 2024, the total inventory was up 3.1% year over year. Total Retail segment inventory increased 3.1%, with the Retail segment&#39;s comparable inventory declining 1.3%. The Wholesale segment&#39;s inventory increased 3.5%.
URBN provided net cash of $163.8 million from operating activities as of July 31, 2024. During the six months ended July 31, 2024, the company repurchased and subsequently retired 1.2 million shares at a total cost of approximately $52 million. As of the same date, 18 million common shares remained available for repurchase under the program.
<h3>URBN&#39;s Outlook</h3>
URBN expects total company sales growth in the mid-single digits for the third quarter, driven by a combination of low-single-digit growth in its Retail segment, low-teen growth in the Wholesale segment and strong mid-double-digit growth in its Nuuly segment.
However, the company anticipates a 100 basis point decline in the gross margin for the third quarter, primarily due to higher markdowns to clear inventory, a result of recent sales trends. Despite this, URBN is optimistic about gross margin improvement in the fourth quarter, aiming for a full-year improvement in the range of 50-100 basis points from the previous year. This expected improvement is largely attributed to better inventory alignment and reduced markdowns, particularly within the Urban Outfitters brand.
In terms of physical stores, URBN is set to open approximately 57 new stores and close around 25 stores in fiscal 2025, with a focus on expanding the FP Movement, Free People and Anthropologie brands. The company also plans to optimize its retail footprint, especially for Urban Outfitters, by resizing stores and considering relocations or closures of underperforming locations.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 are planned at approximately $210 million.
<h2>How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?</h2>
In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted -18.16% due to these changes.
<h2>VGM Scores</h2>
At this time, Urban Outfitters has a strong Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a grade of A on the value side, putting it in the top 20% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren&#39;t focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
<h2>Outlook</h2>
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Urban Outfitters has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
<h2>Performance of an Industry Player</h2>
Urban Outfitters is part of the Zacks Retail - Apparel and Shoes industry. Over the past month, Tapestry (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tpr#NYSE">TPR</a>), a stock from the same industry, has gained 6.6%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2024 more than a month ago.
Tapestry reported revenues of $1.59 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -1.8%. EPS of $0.92 for the same period compares with $0.95 a year ago.
For the current quarter, Tapestry is expected to post earnings of $0.95 per share, indicating a change of +2.2% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Tapestry. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of A.

Earnings Beats

Why Is Urban Outfitters Up 0% Since Last Earnings Report?

Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/urbn#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) is a mid-cap firm in the consumer discretionary sector. In 2024, the company&#39;s shares vastly outperformed their sector, with a total return of over 16% before its recent earnings.
The SPDR Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Fund (ARCA:XLY) has returned just under 5%. The company reported fiscal Q2 2025 earnings on Aug 21. I&#39;ll provide some background on the firm&#39;s operations and then review its earnings report and conference call. I&#39;ll close with some outlook of the company.
<h2>Urban Outfitters: Traditional Retail Combined with a Market Differentiator</h2>
Urban Outfitters operates as three reportable segments: Retail, Wholesale, and Nuuly. The company&#39;s retail segment consists of its physical stores and websites through which it directly sells to consumers. Its notable retail store brands are Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters.
&nbsp;Anthropologie caters to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45, making up 43% of the company&#39;s total revenues in 2023. Free People targets contemporary women aged 25 to 30 and makes up 21% of the firm&#39;s total revenues.
Urban Outfitters targets young adultsF aged 18 to 28 who are &quot;culturally sophisticated, self-expressive, and actively engaged with their peer group.&quot; It made up 26% of the company&#39;s total revenues.
The wholesale segment sells Free People and Urban Outfitters clothing to department stores. It makes up 4.6% of total revenues.
The Nuuly segment is one area where Urban Outfitters differentiates itself considerably compared to massive apparel companies like Nike and Lululemon (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lulu#NASDAQ">LULU</a>). Nuuly offers a subscription service for women&#39;s clothing, allowing customers to rent a variety of clothing pieces.
Customers select products to rent for a month and then send them back to receive new products the next month. The available items stretch beyond the clothes the company makes itself, including third-party and vintage products. The Nuuly segment made up 4.6% of total revenues.
<h2>Urban Outfitters Beats on Headline Number but Shows Underlying Weakness</h2>
Urban Outfitters beat estimates on&nbsp;adjusted earnings per share (EPS) and revenue.&nbsp;Adjusted EPS came in at $1.24, 24% above analyst expectations and an increase of 13% from the past year. Net sales came in at $10 million above analyst expectations at $1.35 billion, 6% above analyst expectations.
Comparable sales for the retail segment increased by 2%. Free People grew by 7.1%, Anthropologie grew by 6.7%, and Urban Outfitters decreased by 9.3%. Nuuly&#39;s sales were impressive. They rose 63% from last year&#39;s quarter, well above expectations.
Despite many positives in the company&#39;s earnings release, a few factors caused the market to react sourly. First, comparable sales at Urban Outfitters stores came in below analysts&#39; expectations.
This isn&#39;t the first time this has happened recently. Urban Outfitters stores&#39; comparable sales dropped 14% in fiscal Q1 2025 and fiscal Q4 2024, as Free People and Anthropologie both saw strong growth.
<h3>Earning&#39;s Call Causes Concern for the Namesake Business</h3>
In the company&#39;s earnings call, executives used dramatic wording about the Urban Outfitters stores. Shea Jensen, President of Urban Outfitters America, said the firm has been reviewing the brand for six months.
She had strong words about that review: &quot;What we have learned is that while there is a great deal of opportunity for improvement, the brand is not fundamentally broken.&quot; It is good that they have ways to improve, but even suggesting the brand might be &quot;fundamentally broken&quot; is alarming.
She noted that through the pandemic, the market saw &quot;rapid and seismic shifts as the generational passage from millennials to Gen Z&quot; occurred. She admitted that the company essentially lost track of how to win their young buyers, causing their customer funnel to erode.
She laid out a five-pillar plan for how the firm intends to restore the business, saying, &quot;Our first step is to understand the Gen-Z customer.&quot; She added that in the firm&#39;s research, they &quot;heard very clearly that customers perceive us as expensive.&quot;
Shares were down nearly 13% in after-hours and premarket trading on Aug. 21 and 22.
<h2>Restoring the UO Brand is Not a Quick Fix</h2>
Overall, the market wants Urban Outfitters to restore its namesake business. That will take a while, especially since the firm says it is just now starting to understand the Gen-Z customer.
Also, the perception that the brand is expensive will weigh it down based on the currently depressed economic sentiment. However, the company can likely restore the brand eventually. Strength in its other segments shows that it is able to market to customers successfully.

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey rated Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URBN#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) to Market Perform from Outperform, lowering the price forecast to $44 from $49, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/URBN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing the ongoing challenges to the visibility of the stock.</a>
Urban Outfitters reported second-quarter results, where revenue&nbsp;increased 6.3% to $1.35 billion.&nbsp;
The analyst estimates that a lower tax rate relative to the market&#8217;s expectations (23.0% vs. consensus of 24.2%) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">benefited EPS by $0.02 in the second quarter.</a>
Total Retail segment net sales increased 3.1%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 2% driven by low single-digit positive growth in both digital channel sales and retail store sales.
Telsey noted that the company achieved better-than-expected sales, gross margin, and expense control for the second consecutive quarter. However, the comparable sales miss was disappointing, with all three brands underperforming <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">against market expectations.</a>

Due to slowing trends and the analyst&#8217;s concerns about increased earnings risk, the price target has been lowered.
Since mid-July through August, Urban Outfitters has experienced a slight slowdown in retail sales, with softer purchasing despite steady traffic, the analyst noted. Nevertheless, overall company sales continue to show positive growth.
Following the second-quarter earnings beat but tempered by adjusted expectations for the latter half of the year, the analyst has slightly increased the FY24 EPS estimate to $3.64 from $3.61, compared to the previous consensus of $3.61 and $3.25 for FY23.
Consequently, the FY25 EPS estimate is raised to $3.93 from $3.90, though it remains below the prior consensus of $3.97.
Price Action: URBN shares are trading lower by 8.18% to $38.09 at last check Thursday.

Index futures trading point to a slightly positive start on Thursday, with some key Main Street data likely directing the market. Sentiment could remain guarded as traders look ahead to the 3-day Jackson Hole Symposium that kickstarts on Thursday, with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivering his address on Friday. Earnings news has been mixed. With traders baking in a September rate cut, the near-term catalyst is likely to be Nvidia, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) earnings due next week.
&#8220;Move over, Fed, it's all about Nvidia's earnings on August 28th. The waiting is the hardest part,&#8221; said Gina Bolvin, President of Bolvin Wealth Management Group.

Cues From Last Session: 
U.S. stocks ended Wednesday&#8217;s session higher, rebounding from the previous session&#8217;s slide, as traders relished the dovish message from the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s July meeting minutes and the Bureau of Labor Statistics&#8217; annual revision taking down the non-farm payroll numbers sharply.
The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 Index stayed mostly above the unchanged line, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was relatively more volatile. All three closed firmly in the green. Small-caps outperformed the major indices, with the Russell 2,000 advancing 1.32%.
The S&amp;P 500 is now closing in on its all-time high of 5,667.20 hit on July 16 and the Nasdaq Composite ended at its highest levels since July 17.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors, baring energy and financials, ended higher for the day, with consumer discretionary and material stocks seeing particular strength.

Insights From Analysts:
In a report released ahead of BLS&#8217; annual revision, Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Lisa Shalett said Wall Street analysts' current profit estimates appear ambitious, calling for accelerating and double-digit growth rates over the next six quarters, even as margins are already near record highs.
She said slowing nominal GDP will hurt companies&#8217; pricing power and profitability, adding that gains from falling costs and the advantages of a strong U.S. dollar may also fade. If companies choose to cut labor, in response, and job losses rise significantly, it could put the soft landing at risk, she added.
Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick noted that the S&amp;P 500 Index has been above the 200-day moving average for more than 200 days now. This has happened three times in the past and on those three instances, the index stayed above the 200-day MA for another 277 days, 242 days, and 195 days, he said. &#8220;If you are bearish b/c this is a long rally, be careful,&#8221; he added.

Past 3 times it got to 200 days it stayed above for another 277 days, 242 days, and 195 days.

Why Wolfspeed Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 8%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URBN#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results after Wednesday's closing bell. Here's a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40493999/urbn-reports-record-q2-sales">key figures from the quarter.  </a>
The Details: Urban Outfitters reported quarterly earnings of $1.24 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.01 by 22.77%. The company announced record quarterly sales of $1.35 billion, which beat the analyst consensus estimate and represents a 6.13% from the same period last year.
<ul>
<li>Total Retail segment net sales increased 3.1%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 2% driven by low single-digit positive growth in both digital channel sales and retail store sales.</li>
<li>Comparable Retail segment net sales increased 7.1% at Free People and 6.7% at Anthropologie and decreased 9.3% at Urban Outfitters.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Nuuly segment net sales increased by 62.6% primarily driven by a 55% increase in average active subscribers in the current quarter versus the prior year quarter.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Wholesale segment net sales increased 15.1% driven by a 17.5% increase in Free People wholesale sales due to an increase in sales to department stores and specialty customers, partially offset by a decrease in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales.</li>
