FLWS - 1-800-Flowers.com is called an online retail stock sleeper

Benchmark singles out 1-800-Flowers.com (FLWS -2.5%) as one of its favorite stocks heading into 2022. Analyst Daniel Kurnos notes that FLWS trades at a discounted EBITDA multiple and does not catch the premium of Etsy despite some similarities. "Consumer and supply chain uncertainties, along with some negative credit card data points have added to the pain, but the outlook for 2022 is no less bright, with shares now trading at under 6x FY22E EBITDA." "We think this is rather unreasonable for a sustainable double-digit revenue grower, with margin expansion likely through positive mix shift, softening cost headwinds and increasing AOV from existing customers, especially given strong recent loyalty adoption and customer file growth." 1-800-Flowers.com is not widely covered on Wall Street, but has a clean sweep of Buy-equivalent ratings.
