Stifel on Arhaus Inc (ARHS) Amid 11% Move: 'We believe the reaction is appropriate'

Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter reiterated a Buy rating and $12.00 price target on Arhaus Inc (NASDAQ: ARHS).

The analyst comments "Following ARHS earnings call, we continue to offer a positive view of results with the outperformance appropriate (ARHS +7.9%, S&P 500 -0.3%) and surprising at the pullback from initial reaction. We are extremely disappointed in decision to stop disclosing monthly comparable written sales and provide QTD trends. We believe this was an extremely helpful metric in forecasting the business trajectory. We believe our 1Q26E was appropriately cautious earnings given the October comparable written disclosure (-14.8%). Moreover, our quick take highlighted the implied Nov/Dec acceleration was as high as +3.2% (Nov +2.3%, December +2.6%), a reacceleration against difficult comparisons we continue to view as the most important takeaway alongside a stable margin with 1Q26 hampered by weather. We believe this acceleration validated Founder/Chairman/CEO John Reed's comments about winning when buying decisions become more deliberate. And we believe the harsh winter weather adds context to any deterioration. We believe the reaction is appropriate but with ARHS still at a 30% discount to retail peers - a level we believe dramatically undervalues the differentiated growth profile including the expansion with CEO Mike Lee highlight the high-teens EBITDA margin potential we believe is not remotely considered in the shares. But gaining the necessary investor confidence and enthusiasm to fully value the long-term growth prospects is not helped by removing disclosures that aid investors in navigating a choppy environment."
