Bay Area consignors The RealReal and ThredUp and styling service Stitch Fix all saw their stock jump at least 16% on Tuesday following news that Redwood City-based PoshmarkAnalysts who follow the sector noted that Poshmark's acquisition price — about quadruple its projected gross profit for fiscal year 2022 — could lead to a stock price"floor" for competitors. Poshmark closed up 13% Tuesday to $17.71, near the $17.90 Naver agreed to pay.
"You look at the price Poshmark was able to get and the valuation that ThredUp and RealReal trade at in the public markets, and there's a very wide disparity there," Nikic said in an interview on Tuesday. Shares of RealReal and ThredUp, both struggling to chart a path to near-term profitability, are down more than 90% and 80%, respectively, since they went public in 2019 and 2021. Poshmark, too, was trading well below a 2021 IPO valuation that reached as high as $7.5 billion.
