Think you're too old for a teddy bear? Think again.
Build-A-Bear
Workshop, Inc. (BBW) has been absolutely on fire. But, is there
still time to get into this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy)?
Company Description
Build-A-Bear offers customizable stuffed animals. The
interactive experience allows customers to build the stuffed animal
online or at any of the more than 400 locations worldwide.
Surprise Profit
Analysts were expecting Build-A-Bear to post a 2-cent loss on
Oct 27, but the company easily topped forecasts with a 5-cent
profit. While the top line did dip slightly, to $96 million, net
income increased $2.25 million, to a profit of $0.85 million.
Retail sales were up during the period but they did see a
decline in licensing fees. But, licensing is a very small portion
of the business model, contributing just $1.2 million to the top
line in the third quarter.
Analysts Turn on a Dime
A month ago the Zacks Consensus Estimate was calling for a loss
of $0.09 this year. But, thanks to upward revisions by all 3
analysts, EPS is expected to come in at a $0.06 profit.
Next year's average projection rose 10 cents, to $0.35. Given
the nickel BBW brought in last year, analysts are expecting
earnings to increase 600% by the end of 2012.
Valuations
As with many small caps, especially those transitioning into
profitability, the valuations are a bit tricky. Most would balk at
the triple digit P/E ratio. But with shares trading at less than
book value and a price to sales of 0.3, there is some value
here.
The Chart
Shares of BBW did surge on the earnings report. And that was
after a very strong month leading up to the announcement. But take
a look at the volume levels since the surprise. Even at this
seemingly high level there are still plenty of buyers out
there.
