Blue Apron Holdings Inc (APRN)

Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh maintained a Hold rating on Blue Apron Holdings Inc today. The company’s shares opened today at $1.57.

Parikh observed:

“Yesterday, APRN reported better than expected Q4 results driven by a slightly smaller sales decline and greater cost savings. Management reaffirmed 2019 expectations for positive EBITDA growth, and commentary on WW and Jet partnerships remained positive. With the continued bottom-line outperformance lately, we are increasingly confident in management’s ability to achieve positive EBITDA in 2019. However, we continue on the sidelines as we await signs of top-line stabilization. This could be at least a few quarters away.”
