Shares of Camping World Holdings Inc (CWH) surged 10.25% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of impressive first-quarter 2025 results and a notable analyst upgrade. The recreational vehicle retailer's strong performance and positive outlook have ignited investor enthusiasm despite broader economic concerns.
The company reported robust financial results for Q1 2025, with revenue increasing 4% year-over-year to $1.4 billion. Notably, used unit sales skyrocketed by 30%, while adjusted EBITDA saw a significant jump to $31.1 million from $8.2 million in the previous year. Camping World's management expressed confidence in the company's strategic positioning, highlighting stabilizing forces in the used business, Good Sam business, and service and parts segments.
Adding fuel to the stock's rise, JP Morgan upgraded Camping World Holdings to Overweight from Neutral, although they slightly reduced their price target to $21 from $23. The upgrade, combined with the strong quarterly results, has led investors to reassess the company's growth potential and market position in the recreational vehicle industry. Furthermore, the company's proactive cost-cutting measures, including the elimination of approximately $35 million in annualized SG&A expenses, have bolstered investor confidence in Camping World's ability to navigate potential headwinds in the market.
