WW International Inc (NASDAQ: WW) snagged a bullish upgrade from DA Davidson, premised on strong subscriber growth and an attractive valuation.
The WW Analyst
Linda Bolton Weiser upgraded WW from Neutral to Buy and increased the price target from $33 to $56.
The WW Thesis
The 2020 consensus sales growth estimate of 5% for WW is modest, Bolton Weiser said in a Friday note. The analyst estimates subscriber growth could be at least 10% in the first quarter and 2020, basing her view on the recent trends and the third-quarter subscriber number of 4.43 million.
Historically, WW's subscriber numbers decline sequentially in the second quarter through the fourth quarter, and increase by double-digits in the first quarter. The analyst estimates a 20% sequential increase in subscribers in the first quarter of 2020, slightly higher than the 17% growth in the first quarter of 2019, which was a "bad" year without a new program launch.
In 2020, there is the myWW plan, which is being well received. For the remainder of 2020, Bolton Weiser models 9-10% growth range for each quarter, if the magnitude of sequential decline by quarter follows the same trend in 2019.
The analyst's conservative estimate calls for the company to end 2020 with 4.6 million subscribers.
For the first quarter, DA Davidson estimates sales of $378 million, EBITDA of $50.9 million and gross margin of 56.3%. This compares to the consensus estimates, which call for sales of $382 million, EBITDA of $42.3 million and gross margin of 55.8%.
The company is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter results Tuesday.

Are Investors Undervaluing WW International (WW) Right Now?
11:50 am ET February 7, 2020 (Zacks) Print
The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.
Of these, value investing is easily one of the most popular ways to find great stocks in any market environment. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.
One company to watch right now is WW International (WW). WW is currently holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 16.98. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 20.16. WW's Forward P/E has been as high as 22.05 and as low as 5.58, with a median of 15.07, all within the past year.
We also note that WW holds a PEG ratio of 1.13. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. WW's industry has an average PEG of 1.72 right now. WW's PEG has been as high as 1.47 and as low as 0.24, with a median of 1.12, all within the past year.
These are just a handful of the figures considered in WW International's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that WW is an impressive value stock right now.
WW International Inc. (WW) stock soared 7.7% in Tuesday premarket trading after a Goldman Sachs upgrade based on potential subscriber growth. Goldman boosted its price target to $48 from $26. WW International was formerly known as Weight Watchers. A new program, myWW, an "aggressive" TV and social media campaign, and the Oprah Vision 2020 tour featuring Oprah Winfrey and fellow celebrities have created "multifaceted layers of new news to engage the customer," analysts led by Jason English said. Based on Google Trend analysis and Sensor Tower App downloads, Goldman thinks subscriber growth could reach 14% in 2020, and drive earnings growth as well. FactSet forecasts EPS of 38 cents for the fourth quarter, down from 46 cents last year. WW International is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on Feb. 25. WW International stock us up 8.3% over the last year, but down 4.4% over the past three months. The S&P 500 index has gained 19.2% for the last 12 months.
WW Upgraded to $48: Goldman Sachs Upgrades WW International to Buy, Raises Price Target to $48 Believes Co. 'could prove to be a powerful inflection in subscriber growth that in turn should drive a positive estimate revision cycle and re-rating for the stock.'

WW raised to $48.Goldman Sachs Projects Subscriber Growth For WW International
UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Upgrades WW International to Buy, Raises Price Target to $48 Believes Co. 'could prove to be a powerful inflection in subscriber growth that in turn should drive a positive estimate revision cycle and re-rating for the stock.'
11:15 am ET February 4, 2020 (Benzinga) Print
WW International Inc (NASDAQ: WW) fell hard from a $102 all-time high struck in 2018. Its one-time 206% price-to-earnings premium contracted to a present-day 7% discount. At this point, one analyst considers WW ripe for the picking.
The WW Rating
Goldman Sachs analyst Jason English upgraded WW International to Buy and raised his price target from $26 to $48.
The WW Thesis
Considering Weight Watcher’s cyclical fundamental and stock-price history, English anticipates a series of positives for the stock — namely, an inflection in subscriber growth that triggers positive estimate revisions and stock re-ratings.
“Positive inflections in these cycles have typically been accompanied by multifaceted layers of new news to engage the consumer,” he wrote in a report. “We believe these conditions are currently being met by WW’s new program news (myWW), aggressive TV and social media campaigns and the co-branded Oprah 2020 Vision tour.”
According to Google Trends and downloads of the Sensor Tower App, these marketing efforts have increased interest. English expects subscriber growth to to accelerate beyond 14% in 2020.
Goldman Sachs forecasts earnings upside and higher valuation ratings, particularly as the stock trades at a discount.
WW Price Action
At time of publication, WW shares traded up 7.8% at $36.24.

She had already made millions what’s her indenture to see it make more? The diet isn’t working for her and I’m not sure how muck the class action suit will hurt her I’m sure she is insulated
when she buys shares, seriously if she does that it will pop again show's you want the company to succeed.
When is Oprah and management going to turn this around. Any ideas?
I can’t weight to keep watching this!
Keto diet is feeding people large amounts of cholesterol in all that chicken, which is increasing heart disease in all their faithful followers.
Good luck selling this idea. WW will climb slowly as shorts continue to cover and JP Morgan continues to buy all the shares from frightened share holders.
Weight Watchers is being killed by Keto according to today's news. IMO it is not helping to have Freestyle points. I signed up for a 3 month account last year and cancelled 3 weeks in. I've been doing Keto since and am making it a lifestyle choice.
The problem with WW is that the Freestyle points allow you to eat unlimited amounts of Chicken, Fish, Fruits and Veggies. Unfortunately those have calories and its a crutch to fall back on.
Also, everything you need for Keto is free on the internet. My opinion only but this is the beginning to the end of WW. Even Atkins makes their information free and use their products to make money. People are not going to sign up for an account when the internet makes so much information free.
Even Oprah can't save this one.
WTW honestly I am looking as $12-15.00 range before thinking about dipping my toe here!
When these Big Boards start dropping the Algo’s take control and can push her down quite a bit on negative sentiment.
Good Luck!
I bought 500 shares this morning hoping for the best.
After today’s Route maybe on a buyout or something. Feels over priced still though.
Anybody think there is any positive long-term potential for this stock? I bought call options for January next year.
Shorts are all over this.
Fun to see them back off when a big order shows up.
Feel like they brought it down too far when in the $21s
The fat ladies are ready to run this pig
I can’t weight to keep watching this!
I guess the "analyst" was wrong... ! <sigh>
Weight Watchers a 'Buy' Before Diet Season, Says Analyst
The price target of $137 represents expected WTW
upside of about 170%
News that Tivity Health (TVTY) bought NutriSystem (NTRI)
helped Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NASDAQ:WTW) stock
snap a three-day losing streak yesterday. What's more, an analyst at DA
Davidson said that based on the same valuation metrics of the NTRI deal,
WTW stock is undervalued by 15% to 36%. Further, the analyst reiterated a
"buy" endorsement and $137 price target, saying a "successful diet season
outcome" could lift the shares when Weight Watchers reports earnings in
February.
At last check, WTW shares were up 1.6% to trade at $49.94. The stock has
been trading in a series of lower highs and lows since its record peak of
$105.72 in mid-June. Its deep decline, facilitated by two dramatic bear
gaps, has slashed the equity in half since then. More recently, the stock has
been trading in the $45-$55 range since the November bear gap, attempting
to stay north of its year-to-date breakeven marker at $44.28.
Despite the equity's struggles in the second half of 2018, most analysts are
already optimistic toward WTW. Eight of 10 analysts issue a "strong buy"
rating, with not a single "sell" in sight. Weight Watchers stock has a ways to
go before it hits analysts' consensus 12-month price target of $91.92, which
stands at nearly an 85% premium to current levels.
However, near-term options traders have taken a much more pessimistic
stance lately. WTW's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 4.04
sits in the high 87th percentile of its annual range, showing put open interest
quadruples call open interest among options expiring in the next three months. The lofty percentile suggests short-term traders have rarely been this
put-heavy on Weight Watchers during the past 12 months.
They will be back... keep watching.. ! See below

I sold my shares and haven't been following it.
Anyone know what’s going on with WW?

Is this going down to $30's? http://schrts.co/vhWUGR
It’s Another Dramatic Day for Weight Watchers’ Stock
By David Marino-Nachison
Nov. 2, 2018 1:23 p.m. ET
Shares of Weight Watchers International (ticker: WTW), in case you haven’t noticed, tend to move dramatically on news—both good and bad. Friday was one of the latter days.
The stock was down about 28% to around $49 in early afternoon following the announcement of third-quarter financial results. It was the latest in a series of dramatic ups-and-downs for the company that, in its newest phase, began three years ago when Oprah Winfrey rescued Weight Watchers with cash and her presence. (My colleague Alex Eule recapped much of this story in March.)
The stock is up more than nine times since then. But even 2018 has been a whirlwind: While the stock is up 10%, leading the S & P 500, it’s well off midyear highs above $100.
Weight Watchers was also quick to point out that its number of subscribers grew nearly 25% year over year to 4.2 million, including 2.7 million digital subscribers and 1.4 million meeting subscribers. But that's also down from roughly 4.5 million subscribers it boasted three months ago.
WW CEO Mindy Grossman remained optimistic:
As we expand our mission from being the global leader in weight management to becoming the world's partner in wellness, we marked a major milestone with our rebranding as WW. We are also enhancing our digital experience in ways that are meaningful to our members' lives, including through the launch of WellnessWins, our first loyalty and rewards program. We have accomplished a great deal in 2018; however, I believe the true impact of our bold moves will be realized in 2019 and beyond.
