Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty initiates coverage on Cricut, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRCT) with a Overweight rating and a price target of $23.00 on the belief that the company is well-positioned to benefit as the market leader in a specialized but fast-growing $36B+ US traditional crafting market, with low market penetration, a differentiated vertically-integrated platform, attractive aftermarket sales, and a highly engaged and passionate user base.

The analyst stated "There are risks ahead, such as Cricut's ability to maintain strong growth and user engagement in a post-COVID/reopening scenario, and longer-term as the company expands its product portfolio and geographic reach, but at <14x EV/EBITDA, we see shares as attractively priced given our expectation for low double digit Y/Y revenue growth and mid-to-high teens EBITDA growth over the next 2 years. Our $23 price target assumes Cricut trades to a target 16.2x EV/EBITDA multiple, in-line with high quality consumer electronics peers but a
20% discount to its linear regression derived growth adjusted target multiple of 20.2x."
