We are reiterating our Buy rating, $30 price target and projections for a.k.a. Brands after meeting with Chief Executive Officer Ciaran Long and touring the Las Vegas’ Culture Kings store. We believe after a material negative impact from tariffs and a reconfiguration of the supply chain in 2025, a.k.a. Brands is ideally positioned to demonstrate the material positives from new Princess Polly store openings, continued wholesale expansion, and the potential launch of a second domestic Culture King location in 2026. We believe this material pivot will once again refocus investors on one of the most appealing specialty retail growth stories in the sector and we view the upside for 2026 and beyond as impressive. As such, we reiterate our Buy rating and $30 price target for AKA.
