What are Wall Street analysts saying about Qurate Retail Inc Series A stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Qurate Retail Inc Series A stock:
- 1. Aegis analysts commented, "We updated our post 2Q18 Qurate model and maintained our $30 price target and our Buy rating on the shares. The stock provides substantial upside (+35%) if Qurate improves margins, improves Domestic ASPs, produce less bad trends at HSN, and continues to buyback stock. We see all these occurring. 2Q Sales missed our estimate by only $8M largely on weaker International (Japan & Italy), HSN and Cornerstone, while Adj. OIBDA was 3% ahead of our estimate. We are encouraged by several nuggets from the earnings conference call that gives us confidence in our rating on the stock: 1) Qurate sees a better overall company margin profile in 2H18 as margin pressures ease at QVC U.S., as they move past the promotional activity in International, and as they manage HSN towards a better margin profile; 2) Domestic QVC ASPs have been declining for several quarters."
