Oliver Chen has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Brilliant Earth Group’s performance. The company experienced a decline in average order values by 14%, which overshadowed the 12% increase in total orders. This trend raises concerns about future order values as the fine jewelry segment expands, necessitating both unit growth and pricing improvements.
Additionally, the company’s adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.1% fell short of expectations, influenced by increased costs in gold and labor. While the company maintains a strong balance sheet with a net cash position and plans to reduce its term loan, the ongoing pressure from higher gold costs and tariffs poses a risk to gross margins. The Hold rating reflects the need for better visibility on revenue growth trends before any potential upgrade in outlook.
In another report released yesterday, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $2.00 price target.
