Reached its target in 89 days.
The thesis — published September 24, 2025
Five Below is executing well. Q2 net sales rose 23.7%, and management raised FY25 guidance, pointing to steady store traffic and growth. A class-action review is still in the background, but investors are focusing on the solid results, and buying interest is stronger than usual. Over the next 0-3 months, dips may hold as sales trends and expansion support a possible move toward the 180s, with rates and discounts worth watching.
Primary drivers
- Q2 sales up 23.7%, and managers raised the full-year outlook for FY25
- Buying interest and price strength are improving versus recent weeks
- Budget-friendly shoppers keep visiting stores even in a tough economy
- A class-action review exists, but so far it has not changed the business
