Leslie's: Valuation Unlikely To See Upside As Demand Environment Remains Poor
I recommend a hold rating for Leslie's stock due to persistent weak demand and an uncertain macro environment, despite some signs of recovery. LESL's Q3FY24 results showed an 8% y/y decline in net sales and a significant drop in margins, with adj. EPS missing consensus estimates. LESL's high leverage ratio of 6.1x net debt-to-EBITDA and recent $5 million one-time charge indicate financial strain and operational limitations.

Leslie's Inc.: Sinking Fast In The Pool Care Market (Ratings Downgrade)
Leslie's Inc. faces significant financial struggles, with a 77% stock decline, high debt, and weak sales, prompting a switch to a "Sell" rating. Despite logistical advantages and customer loyalty, rising costs and ineffective SG&A management are squeezing profits, impacting operating income and margins. Growth among PRO customers and improved inventory management offer some positives, but overall financial metrics and valuation remain concerning.
