9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Intraday Session

Micro-cap stocks are typically categorized as companies with market capitalizations between $50 million and $300 million. However, it&#39;s not a hard-and-fast rule. Many small stocks can fluctuate massively in price over a short time. This can put their value inside or outside that range on a given day.
Picking micro-cap stocks can yield massive returns but can also be extremely risky.&nbsp; For example, when NVIDIA&nbsp;went public in 1999, the company had a market capitalization of $279 million. Holding that investment from then to now would have generated a total return of over 300,000%. In other words, a $10,000 investment in 1999 would have turned into over $31 million.
However, micro-caps can also result in shareholders losing all of their investments. SunPower (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spwrq#OTC">SPWRQ</a>) is a recent example of this. The company traded in the micro-cap range for several weeks before the NASDAQ delisted it on Aug. 16. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is now worth nothing.
Below are three micro-cap stocks with significant potential and significant risk. They sit within or just outside the $50 million to $300 million market capitalization range.
<h2>Can Rent the Runway Get Back on Its Feet?</h2>
Rent the Runway (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rent#NASDAQ">RENT</a>) made a strong name for itself as one of the first entrants into the clothing rental space. The company allows customers to rent uber-expensive designer clothing, costing them much less than buying it outright.
It is improving its financial situation and expects to break even on cash flow this year. However, subscribers to its service are declining as competitors are seeing massive growth.
The rapid expansion in subscribers for competitor Nuuly shows that there is growth to be had in this market. Rent the Runway&#39;s valuation is extremely low, but reinvigorating growth is essential to its long-term success. In August, the company saw a 20% increase in orders in its &quot;reserve&quot; segment, which helped create a flywheel effect to attract more monthly subscribers.
Additionally, the company says the improvements in its website have &quot;almost doubled checkout completion rate compared to the first half of the year.&quot; This means customers are buying products more often rather than leaving them in their cart. Lastly, the company hired a new Chief Marketing Officer in March to reignite customer interest.
<h2>374Water&#39;s Hopes Lie in Central Florida</h2>
374Water (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scwo#NASDAQ">SCWO</a>) is a wastewater treatment company that is developing a new technology for this industry. It is currently at a crossroads as it tests its products with the City of Orlando.
If the tests are successful, the city said it intends to purchase multiple units from the company.
These purchases would mark the&nbsp;company&#39;s first significant revenue. The firm announced just last week that its&nbsp;systems are up and running in Orlando and should provide&nbsp;periodic updates about the project. The company will also use its Orlando operation to demonstrate the tech to potential federal and industrial customers. So, it may be able to parlay this into many more customers than just the city.
These updates will be key tests of the technology. They should greatly affect 374Water&#39;s chances of long-term commercial success.
<h2>Skye Bioscience: A Weight Loss Drug Boom or Bust?</h2>
Last on the list is Skye Bioscience (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/skye#NASDAQ">SKYE</a>). Skye is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company that is developing a different type of weight loss drug. Recently, GLP-1 agonist drugs have seen massive commercial success. Skye&#39;s drug, nimacimab, is a CB1 inhibitor. It is intended to have similar weight loss effects as GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound but works through a different mechanism.
The hope is that the successful development of a CB1 drug could open up a new market of customers who respond better to its mechanism of action compared to GLP-1s. CB1s could also possibly be used together with GLP-1s to compound their effects. However, CB1s have a history of inducing negative psychological effects. Novo Nordisk&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvo#NYSE">NVO</a>) CB1 inhibitor was shown to have those same problems in recently released results, which caused the company&#39;s shares to fall 5% in one day. However, the drug did show adequate weight-loss effects.
Skye released a statement about Novo&#39;s results, stating that the weight loss results validate Skye&#39;s drug. At the same time, Skye laid out a case for why its drug could mitigate the negative psychological effects. Skye could have a blockbuster drug if nimacimab gets through all Food and Drug Administration trials. But it still has a long way to go, having entered Phase 2 trials in August.

3 High-Risk, High-Reward Micro-Cap Stocks You Shouldn't Ignore

Rent the Runway (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rent#NASDAQ">RENT</a>) is a micro-cap stock whose price target was recently updated by Jefferies. This signals that the name could have nearly triple-bagger upside. According to MT Newswires, analysts at Jefferies updated their price target for the firm on Sept. 6. That target now sits at $26 per share, while the company trades at $9.31 per share. This implies that the analyst believes shares could rise 180% from their current level.
To understand this lofty target, I&#39;ll examine the&nbsp;consumer discretionary firm&#39;s operations, competitors, and financial situation.
<h2>Rent the Runway Aims to Offer Customers an &quot;Unlimited Closet&quot;</h2>
Rent the Runway (RTR) is a fashion company with a unique business model. The company is a platform where customers can rent pieces of clothing. It specifically caters to women, allowing them to rent high-priced designer garments. This allows its customers to access these garments for a much lower price than having to buy them.
This opens up the world of designer clothing to many more people, allowing many users to split the cost of those garments. RTR points out that its average customer wears clothes worth 25 times more than what they pay in subscription fees for the service annually. The company aims to provide its customers with an &quot;unlimited closet&quot; as they can swap out their garments for other ones whenever they like. It generates revenue mostly through subscriptions to this service, which cost between $94 and $235 per month.
<h2>RTR: Improving Profitability Big Time, But a Massive Competitor Is Stealing Growth</h2>
Looking at the financials of Rent the Runway, it is a mixed bag. On the positive side, the company is becoming more profitable. The company has increased its gross margin by nearly 600 basis points since fiscal year 2021. Last quarter, its adjusted EBITDA margin was over 17%. That&#39;s a 700+ basis point increase from last year.
Additionally, its free cash flow has increased massively. The number through the first six months of 2024 sits at -$6 million, compared to -$30 million in the same 2023 period. The company says it expects to break even on cash flow in 2024.
Looking at cash flow is particularly important for a firm like RTR over net income, as product depreciation expense equals 21% of its revenue. Depreciation is a non-cash expense; it is an accounting expense. So, this isn&#39;t cash that the company is spending. The company deducts it from its net income but not its cash flow.
The ultimate goal of a business is to generate positive cash rather than a positive accounting profit, i.e., net income. A company&#39;s cash flow paints a better picture of its financial situation.
However, a big problem for RTR is the fact that its active subscribers are declining. The figure fell 3% year over year last quarter. Meanwhile, competitors like Nuuly saw active subscribers grow by 55% last quarter. Nuuly&#39;s average active subscribers now sit at over 250,000, nearly double that of RTR. This is despite the fact that the company has only been active for around five years versus 15 years for RTR.
This difference signals growth in this industry, but it&#39;s not going to RTR. This means that RTR&#39;s offerings are likely viewed as inferior to Nuuly&#39;s and do not give customers the items they want.
Nuuly, owned by the massive firm Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/urbn#NASDAQ">URBN</a>), enjoys a big advantage in acquiring a variety of clothing to offer customers. This is very difficult for the small RTR to compete with. This difference in being able to offer a wider variety of options is a likely source of Nuuly&#39;s superior growth. Nuuly also has a lower price point, offering more casual clothing that can appeal to a wider audience.
<h2>RTR&#39;s Rock-Bottom Valuation Sparks Wall Street Interest</h2>
Despite its issues, it&#39;s hard to dismiss RTR&#39;s extremely low valuation. It is trading at nearly one-tenth of its projected sales over the next twelve months. This is assuredly a big reason why some Wall Street analysts place such large price targets on the firm.
Its increasing profitability is great to see, but it likely needs to see growth reaccelerate before the market will give it any credit. If it can&#39;t, this indicates that RTR&#39;s offerings to customers have fundamental issues, and the company can&#39;t expect to succeed long term. Still, its valuation makes it an interesting name to watch if it can find a way to start growing again.

</ul>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
By Doug Young
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/atrenew-inc-reports-unaudited-second-quarter-2024-financial-results-302226212.html">latest financial report</a>&nbsp;from recycling specialist&nbsp;ATRenew Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rere#NYSE">RERE</a>) shows continued progress on several fronts, including improving margins as it emphasizes more profitable businesses and tweaks a major partnership with global smartphone giant&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
At the more macro level, the report&rsquo;s highlights include the company&rsquo;s significant deepening of ties with longtime e-commerce partner&nbsp;JD.com&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jd#NASDAQ">JD</a>) through a major new multiyear agreement. That pairing, along with the Apple tie-up launched last year, are rapidly emerging as key partnerships for ATRenew as China aggressively rolls out new policies to achieve its twin goals of boosting consumption and promoting the circular economy.
While other Chinese companies have reported slowing revenue growth as China&rsquo;s economy slows, ATRenew has bucked that trend by maintaining strong double-digit gains by syncing with government priorities and catering to increasingly value-conscious consumers. It forecast that growth would continue into the third quarter as more Chinese cities roll out new programs aimed at boosting consumption through increasingly popular trade-in programs.
&ldquo;We have witnessed a significant shift in consumer behavior with trade-ins becoming a more mainstream choice for consumers seeking to upgrade their electronic products,&rdquo; said ATRenew founder and Chairman Kerry Chen on the company&rsquo;s earnings call last week. &ldquo;Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we anticipate that national policies promoting consumer product trade-ins will provide greater certainty for the industry.&rdquo;
ATRenew reported its revenue grew 27.4% in the second quarter to 3.78 billion yuan ($530 million), slightly topping the high end of its previous guidance range. It predicted the figure would continue growing at a similar rate of between 22% and 25% in the third quarter, potentially topping the 4 billion yuan mark just a year after passing 3 billion yuan.
The big majority of the company&rsquo;s revenue, about 90%, comes from product sales, which grew 29% during the quarter year-on-year, with the rest coming from services.
The company has been honing its operations in the last two years to focus on the most profitable businesses of product refurbishment and directly selling to consumers. Both of those offer higher margins than simpler trading in smartphones, electronics and other products with middlemen buyers and agents. It announced that revenue from its direct-selling business more than doubled in the second quarter, rising 125% year-on-year to 960 million yuan, accounting for about a quarter of its total.
The company also posted strong gains for its two-year-old non-electronics recycling business, which includes such categories as designer bags, gold and even vintage liquors. Transaction value for that part of the business reached 900 million yuan in the second quarter, ahead of 600 million yuan in the previous quarter and up by nearly 400% year-on-year.
The company&rsquo;s non-GAAP operating margin improved by 0.7 percentage points to 2.5%, helping to lift its adjusted net profit to a record 80.5 million yuan from 36.4 million yuan year-on-year. It lost money on a net basis, though the loss narrowed to 10.7 million yuan from 64.8 million yuan a year earlier.
<h4>Growing JD ties</h4>
Despite the broadly upbeat report, ATRenew&rsquo;s shares fell 11.3% the day it announced its results, though they pared some of those losses in the following days. The bigger story is a broader rally for the company&rsquo;s shares, which are up about 35% so far this year, outpacing a far smaller 4% gain for the broader iShares MSCI China ETF.
The stock trades at valuations levels comparable with its global recycling peers, though most of those stocks look relatively undervalued. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio currently stands at 0.31, which trails the 0.49 for&nbsp;The RealReal&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/real#NASDAQ">REAL</a>) but leads the 0.14 for&nbsp;Rent the Runway&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rent#NASDAQ">RENT</a>). All those numbers are well behind the 2.79 P/S for used car trader&nbsp;Carvana&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cvna#NYSE">CVNA</a>), showing the kind of valuations the other companies could someday fetch.
Next, we&rsquo;ll turn to the new JD.com tie-up, and also look at some of the other developments mentioned earlier. ATRenew is a longtime partner of JD.com, and the latter is a major ATRenew stakeholder with 34% of its shares. ATRenew said the pair signed a new agreement in May running through the end of 2027 that will see them &ldquo;continue to cooperate in the second-hand business by integrating resources and leveraging their respective strengths.&rdquo;
That&rsquo;s quite significant, since JD.com is one of China&rsquo;s top online electronics sellers and has recently ramped up its drive to promote used electronics in sync with the government&rsquo;s latest priorities. As that happens, the value of ATRenew&rsquo;s products traded through JD.com&rsquo;s various platforms doubled in May from a year earlier, and also grew by a similar amount during the June 18 shopping festival, a major online event.
At the same time, ATRenew has been tweaking its other major partnership for iPhone recycling with Apple, which dates back to last year. The company said the partnership had the potential to add up to 1.5 billion yuan to its annual revenue, but it got off to a shaky start due to low margins. Over the past year, however, ATRenew has been tweaking the program and said it achieved the important milestone of a positive gross margin for the business in the second quarter.
More broadly, ATRenew said a growing number of Chinese cities are rolling out programs to encourage trade-ins of used electronics, following the central government&rsquo;s release of an action plan in March for such large-scale trade-ins of consumer goods. The southern metropolis of Shenzhen rolled out a program in July to encourage smartphone trade-ins, and Chen said other cities are now crafting their own phone-specific subsidies at the local level.
&ldquo;In the second half of the year, we expect more cities to introduce similar subsidies, further promoting the effective recycling of items, electronic products within the circular economy,&rdquo; he said.
As it continued to sharpen its focus on its most profitable business lines, and continued efforts to improve efficiency through more automation of its inspection processes and recycling at the city level, ATRenew&rsquo;s operating loss narrowed sharply 5.6 million yuan in the second quarter from 61 million yuan a year earlier. While the company operates profitably on a non-GAAP basis, it could soon also operate profitably on a GAAP basis as well if current trends continue, representing another symbolic milestone for its profitability metrics.
