I rate FIGS, Inc. stock as a buy, expecting growth to inflect upwards with orders per buyer potentially more than doubling. FIGS has enhanced top-of-funnel awareness, product innovation, and distribution capacity, driving customer acquisition beyond its core scrub customer base. Margin pressures are temporary; scaling non-scrub products and the high-margin TEAMS business should flip this headwind into a tailwind.
FIGS' Q2 2024 results showed moderate revenue growth but at the expense of lower margins due to increased spending on products and marketing. The company's lack of cost management and high gross margins make it vulnerable to competition, justifying my Hold rating. Despite some improvement in guidance, the valuation remains unattractive with the stock trading at a high P/E ratio even under optimistic scenarios.

FIGS is a popular retailer known for its fashionable and high-quality scrubs. The company has gained a strong reputation for its innovative designs and comfortable fabrics. However, the company has stopped growing and is unable to post reasonable operating margins. Competition might make profitability even harder to attain in the future. In this article, I review 1Q24 earnings. The results were unimpressive, with more investments in marketing and product that did not translate to growth.
