Consumer Cyclical

The company does not pay dividends at all, or it pays them sporadically. There have only been a few years with dividend payments in the past ten years. 

SFIX reported revenue of USD 1 275mn in the last 12 months, up 0% from FY24. At the same time, the dynamics of cash flow, as measured by free cash flow (FCF), were drastically different. EPS fell 21% from FY24 to USD -0.46.

Over the last six months, the stock performance has varied, with an increase following a drop. The stock's price trend wasn't definitive when matched against its global counterparts from the same sector and industry (as depicted above). Within the past six months, its performance has trailed this peer group's by 5ppts and its growth decelerated by 14ppts in the past month. This is equally valid for peers from the same country and industry. Given the stock's valuation versus its peers, its total price movement is neither favourable nor unfavourable.

The company has reported very poor EBITDA margins compared to its global peers in recent years. EBITDA margin amounted to -3.6% in the last 12 months, up from -4.2% in FY24. 

Historically, SFIX has reported very poor net margins compared to its global peers. Specifically, in the last 12 months, this metric equalled -4.4%, a growth from -5.5% in FY24. 

Stitch Fix, Inc. reported a return on equity (RoE) of -28.5% in the last 12 months, up from -34.4% in FY24. 

Another important profitability metric, return on assets (RoA), amounted to -11.8% in the last 12 months, an increase from -14.0% in FY24. 

In the last 12 months, the return on capital employed (RoCE) grew to -20.3%, below the peers. 

The ratio of return on invested capital (RoIC) to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) has been -1.9 in the past several years. This ratio implies a fragile shareholder value creation. 

The institutional, legal, and compliance risks associated with the company's country are minimal. In combination with stringent business standards, shareholder rights are very highly protected.

SFIX has above average trading liquidity. The average private investor can sell his common position in the stock almost immediately. Liquidity is usually stable and remains extremely favourable on the days with the lowest activity. The trading volume mostly stays the same even under highly turbulent market conditions. The stock has a small market capitalisation, which usually makes its trading liquidity erratic and unpredictable. 

No other major risks have been identified.

The risk of default is high. Among the negative credit factors, we point to slow historical revenue growth, bleak profitability, negligible return on capital, inadequate interest coverage, and an unfavourable capital structure. We note low margin volatility, among the positive credit factors. 

In highly turbulent market conditions, SFIX is exceptionally volatile. In other words, the stock will be among the worst-performers in times of extreme market volatility or shocking company news. Standalone, the worst-day losses (less than 1% of the time) will likely be critical. 

In normal market circumstances, SFIX is exceptionally volatile. Put differently, without outstanding market volatility or shocking company news, the stock's price will change quite unpredictably. The stock's losses on its worst days (less than 1-5% of the time) will range from critical to immense. 

Considering past and projected metrics, the stock is moderately 'expensive' compared to its peers. Specifically, the stock is overpriced on P/FCF.
