Buy
Reason
DA Davidson analyst Keegan Cox lowered the firm's price target on Build-A-Bear to $70 from $85 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q3 results. The stock fell as the impact of tariffs on the P&L catches up to models, which means 2026 profit estimates will likely need to come down, though merchandising efforts and higher price point products should help partially offset tariffs going forward, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds that over the longer-term, the company's unit growth story remains intact, which should help drive margin expansion with increased sales penetration.

Reason
Northland raised the firm's price target on Build-A-Bear to $80 from $60 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after Q2 revenue and EBITDA beat the firm's and consensus expectations. The firm, which was "impressed" by the continued acceleration of the Mini Bean product line, also likes Build-A-Bear's cost discipline and less reliance on promotional activity, the analyst tells investors.

Reason
DA Davidson analyst Keegan Cox raised the firm's price target on Build-A-Bear to $85 from $64 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company reported a beat on both the top and bottom lines with strong traffic and margin expansion from higher pricing and lower promotions, with no drop off in conversion, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The key driver this quarter was continued store growth, led by Build-A-Bear's international partners, who are adding stores in new markets and expanding the company's brand reach, the firm added.
