Description

Rent the Runway, Inc. (‘Rent the Runway’) builds shared designer closet with thousands of styles by hundreds of brand partners worldwide. The company gives customers access to its ‘unlimited closet’ through its subscription offering (‘Subscription’)…

Analysis

Weak and unloved

Rent the Runway, Inc. scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 20.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is mixed; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 13/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
