The analyst's take on Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.
Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. has grown revenue from $364.20M to $529.83M over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 15.7% a year. The most recent year was up 6.7%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 9.9%, down 0.5 points year over year on a 55.8% gross margin.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly -1% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 36.5% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is receivables growing faster than sales.
