Camping World Holdings Inc (CWH) saw its stock price surge 5.31% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of strong first-quarter 2025 results and an analyst upgrade from JP Morgan. The recreational vehicle retailer's performance and positive outlook have sparked investor enthusiasm despite broader economic concerns.
During its Q1 2025 earnings call, Camping World reported impressive financial results, including a 4% year-over-year increase in revenue to $1.4 billion. The company's used unit sales jumped by 30%, while adjusted EBITDA rose significantly to $31.1 million from $8.2 million in the previous year. Management expressed confidence in the company's strategic positioning, citing stabilizing forces in the used business, Good Sam business, and service and parts segments. Additionally, Camping World has taken decisive actions to reduce costs, eliminating approximately $35 million in annualized SG&A expenses.
Adding to the positive sentiment, JP Morgan upgraded Camping World Holdings to Overweight from Neutral, although they slightly reduced their target price to $21 from $23. This upgrade, combined with the strong quarterly results, has likely contributed to the stock's pre-market surge as investors reassess the company's growth potential and market position in the recreational vehicle industry.
