The case for and against

Updated Jan 25, 2025

Bull case

Starco Brands Inc. is experiencing positive momentum with projections indicating a revenue doubling for its Winona product line in 2024 and further growth expected in 2025, driven by new product launches and partnerships that enhance market share. The company's strategic focus on expanding distribution, including the anticipated rollout of the new Garlic Butter flavor across thousands of Walmart locations, demonstrates a robust pipeline that is poised to deliver substantial revenue growth over the coming years. Additionally, with the anticipated improvements in operational efficiency and adjustments in inventory management, particularly for the Whipshots brand, Starco Brands is well-positioned to achieve notable top line and Adjusted EBITDA growth as it enters 2025 and beyond.

Bear case

Starco Brands Inc. reported a 2Q24 revenue of $15.6 million, a decline of 11.1% year-over-year and falling short of the previous projection of $18.1 million, while also experiencing an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.3 million compared to a profit of $2.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The company has seen lower sales in its high-margin Whipshots brand, along with declining revenue in the Skylar segment due to a reduction in SKU count by partner Sephora, leading to lowered revenue and EBITDA projections for 2024 and 2025. Furthermore, the absence of 2024 financial guidance from management raises concerns about the company's future performance and strategic direction amidst ongoing distribution challenges.
