TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

This Boat Stock Could Make Waves

Interest Rate Catalyst

Buying a boat can be like pouring money down the drain. But buying this boat stock might have the opposite effect — or so Citi (C) says.

Boat dealer MarineMax (HZO) could be a solid play for investors looking for stocks set to benefit from falling interest rates, the bank believes. Citi analyst James Hardiman feels Fed rate cuts could be a catalyst for the stock, as lower rates mean easier — and less expensive — financing for purchasers.

Expansion Opportunities

Boat sales have been hit hard by high rates. But they could see a significant rebound when they drop, Hardiman says.

He also believes low rates will present an opportunity to monetize opportunities within the marina real estate space. MarineMax has been hesitant to do so thus far, but the analyst thinks the incentive may be there in a more favorable macro environment. If the company does expand into real estate, it could result in another solid revenue stream.

Buying Low

Hardiman assigns a Buy rating to MarineMax and recently lifted his price target 10% to $44 per share — an eye-catching 52% upside from Friday’s closing price.

The stock is down around 21% YTD and 3% over the past year. But the tide could soon turn, and now might be the time to buy low, the analyst suggests. The Federal Reserve is meeting next week, and investors feel certain a cut of at least 25 bps will materialize — if not 50.

Rate cuts will be a catalyst for many segments of the economy, and big-ticket items like boats may well be one of them. Given the stock’s recent tumble and the promise of a more favorable interest rate environment, MarineMax may soon shift from ebb to flow.
