Beanbag chair maker Lovesac shows preliminary 1Q beat, drawing praise from Roth analyst

Analyst Dave King is impressed with Lovesac’s modular couches and says it's an interesting acquisition target for larger furniture players

The Lovesac Company (NASDAQ:LOVE), known for its bean bag chairs, is poised to disrupt the furniture industry, according to analysts at Roth.

The firm reiterated its Buy rating and $47 price target for the Stamford, Connecticut company after its preliminary first-quarter results beat expectations. The price target is a nearly 30% premium over its Friday close.

Analyst Dave King was impressed with Lovesac’s patent-protected modular couches, known as 'Sactionals,' which can be rearranged in a variety of configurations. The company is an interesting acquisition target for larger furniture players, King noted in a research note.

Preliminary first-quarter revenue grew about 52% year over year, King wrote, to between $40.7 million and $40.9 million, beating the Roth estimate of $37.6 million. Earlier this month, the company raised $27 million in a secondary public offering.

Lovesac, which also make acessories such as drink-holders, sac blankets and pillows, sells its products online and through its 75 showrooms in 30 states.

Shares climbed 0.6% to $36.47 Tuesday.
