The company is poised for gross margin expansion, driven by more controlled inventory and likely stabilization or nominal improvements in return rates, according to Piper Sandler.
The Revolve Group Analyst: Edward Yruma upgraded the rating for Revolve Group from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $16 to $21.
The Revolve Group Thesis: Weakness in the company’s performance in 2023 can be largely attributed to the external environment, Yruma said in the upgrade note.

Revolve’s active customer count “remained positive despite a difficult spending environment,” the analyst stated. “Given the high fashion content in the apparel and the somewhat narrow target age range, we think that 2024 should see a replacement cycle,” he added.
“We think that RVLV can improve GM at least 100-200 bps over the next two years, which should drive an incremental ~22% lift in EPS,” Yruma further wrote.
“A strong balance sheet gives Revolve significant capital and strategic flexibility,” the analyst said.
RVLV Price Action: Shares of Revolve Group had risen by 0.35% to $14.45 at the time of publication Wednesday.
