Mizuho analyst David Bellinger initiated coverage of Five Below with a Buy rating and $225 price target. The analyst launched coverage of 15 companies in the consumer hardlines and consumer internet verticals with an optimistic view for the balance of 2024. The firm expects a “more subdued, yet stable” spending backdrop to become more apparent in the coming months and takes a positive view toward eight names. Its top picks include Lowe’s (LOW) within core consumer hardlines and large caps, Wayfair (W) within consumer internet coverage, and Mister Car Wash (MCW) within small caps. Expectations for rate cuts into 2025 should serve as an added positive and supports a positive stance on home improvement and other home-related activity, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
