Stephen Macleod’s rating is based on Leon’s Furniture’s strong financial performance in Q1/25, which exceeded expectations with a notable increase in same-store sales growth and adjusted EBITDA. The company demonstrated resilience through improved inventory management and strong furniture sales, contributing to a revenue increase of 3.1% year-over-year. However, despite these positive results, Macleod remains cautious due to potential risks associated with tariff uncertainties that could impact consumer spending in the future.
While Leon’s is well-positioned to manage near-term challenges with its strong brand and value proposition, the macroeconomic environment presents headwinds that could affect its performance. The company’s robust financial position, with significant liquidity, allows for strategic initiatives such as dividend increases and share buybacks, but the uncertain market conditions necessitate a Hold rating. Additionally, the potential for a REIT transaction could unlock hidden real estate value, yet this remains contingent on improving market conditions.
In another report released on May 9, Stifel Nicolaus also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a C$27.00 price target.
