Why Is Arhaus Not Exciting?

We're swiping left on Arhaus for now. Here are three reasons we avoid ARHS and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Shrinking Same-Store Sales Indicate Waning Demand

Same-store sales is a key performance indicator used to measure organic growth at brick-and-mortar shops for at least a year.

Arhaus’s demand has been shrinking over the last two years as its same-store sales have averaged 3.2% annual declines.

2. Fewer Distribution Channels Limit its Ceiling

With $1.36 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Arhaus is a small retailer, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and negotiating leverage with suppliers.

3. EPS Trending Down

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Sadly for Arhaus, its EPS declined by 13.8% annually over the last three years while its revenue grew by 7%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

Final Judgment

Arhaus isn’t a terrible business, but it doesn’t pass our quality test. That said, the stock currently trades at 21.9× forward P/E (or $10.30 per share). This multiple tells us a lot of good news is priced in - you can find more timely opportunities elsewhere. Let us point you toward a fast-growing restaurant franchise with an A+ ranch dressing sauce.
