Build-A-Bear Workshop: Revenue And Margin Expansion Amid Poor Consumer Outlook
In 3Q24, BBW generated $119 million in revenues, growing 10.19% y/y and 6.25% q/q. Operating margins and net margins improved to 10.92% and 8.40% from 9.26% and 7.41%. Although the poor consumer outlook will weigh on BBW, investors should not be overly worried. After all, BBW has managed to post impressive results consistently, demonstrating its resilience. Looking ahead, investors should expect continued revenue expansion as BBW continues to accelerate its asset-light shift and pull other levers to tap into other consumers (e.g., new types of products).

Build-A-Bear: Strong Expansion Prospects, But A Disappointing Q4 Outlook (Rating Downgrade)
Build-A-Bear's Q3 results showed incredible revenue momentum in brick-and-mortar and in wholesale shipments, and highlighted the company's rapid partner-operated expansion with 17 new store openings. The updated FY2024 outlook suggests disappointing Q4 growth, reflecting weaker ecommerce demand and slower wholesale shipments. BBW stock doesn't have much asymmetric upside left in my base DCF model scenario.
