Cricut, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRCT) has been assigned an average recommendation of 'Strong Sell' from the five ratings firms currently covering the company, according to MarketBeat. Four research analysts have rated the stock with a sell recommendation, while one has given a hold recommendation. The average 12-month price target among brokers is $3.67.

Why it matters

Cricut, a Utah-based company that makes cutting machines and design software for personal and small-business crafting, has struggled with declining sales and profitability in recent quarters. The 'Strong Sell' rating from analysts suggests they see further challenges ahead for the company as it faces increased competition and a potential slowdown in consumer demand for its products.

The details

The analysts' recommendations come after Cricut reported mixed financial results in its most recent quarter. While revenue came in slightly ahead of expectations, the company's earnings fell short and it provided a cautious outlook. Cricut has also faced headwinds from supply chain disruptions and rising costs. Some analysts believe the company may need to lower prices or invest more in product development to stay competitive.
