???? Bullish Takeaways
Both Roth Capital and B. Riley maintain Neutral stances with lower but still positive absolute price targets of $21 and $20, respectively, implying analysts see downside risks largely reflected in Fox Factory Holding’s compressed valuation.
Roth Capital highlights ongoing execution in the Powered Vehicles Group, where new motorcycle suspension offerings continue to support revenue, and in the Aftermarket Accessories Group, which is benefiting from elevated aftermarket demand and helping underpin the long term growth case.
???? Bearish Takeaways
Roth Capital’s Scott Stember cut his target to $21 from $30 after Fox Factory reported a weaker than expected Q3 EPS and reduced its FY25 guidance, signalling increased concern that near term earnings power may fall short of prior expectations.
Roth also points to softness in the Specialty Sports Group, with Bike and Marucci orders slowing as retailers manage inventory more carefully, raising doubts about the durability of growth across all segments.
B. Riley lowered its price target to $20 from $32 while keeping a Neutral rating, underscoring a more cautious stance on upside potential and suggesting that, despite some execution strengths, risk around guidance and end market demand continues to cap valuation re rating prospects.
