What the Analysts think about BNED
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Barnes & Noble Education stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Revenues from the BNC First Day® programs increased 20.8% year-over-year to $222 million in Q3, fueled by expansion to 191 campus stores serving about 957,000 students.
Barnes & Noble Education returned to profitability with Q3 net income of $7.1 million—compared to a $9.9 million loss a year ago—and Adjusted EBITDA rose 29.8% to $27.4 million, reflecting greater operational efficiency.
The company's balance sheet improved substantially: total debt was reduced by $113.1 million year-over-year to $141.2 million, and net working capital shifted to a positive $223.3 million, bolstered by $80 million from At-the-Market equity offerings.
Q3 net income was largely driven by one-time items—a $7.6 million restructuring gain and a $10.7 million tax provision—raising doubts about the sustainability of the reported profit.
Despite operational improvements, Barnes & Noble Education posted a net loss of $42.6 million year-to-date, highlighting ongoing difficulties in achieving consistent profitability.
Year-to-date revenues stayed essentially flat at $1.3 billion, suggesting limited organic growth outside the BNC First Day® program.
