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. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Qurate Retail, Inc. operates and owns interests in digital commerce businesses. The company's business and asset consist of its subsidiaries QVC Inc., HSN Inc., and zulily, llc as well as its interests in ILG and FTD, among other things. Qurate Retail Inc., formerly known as Liberty Interactive Corporation, is based in Colorado, United States. " (11/16/2018)
- 2. 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."
