Hooker Furniture Corporation, trading as NASDAQ:HOFT, is a well-known furniture company that designs, imports, and markets residential furniture. The company has a diverse product range, including casegoods, leather furniture, and fabric-upholstered furniture.
Despite its established presence, HOFT faces competition from other furniture manufacturers and retailers, which can impact its financial performance. On June 12, 2025, HOFT reported an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.29, which was below the estimated EPS of -$0.16. This quarterly loss was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, as highlighted by Zacks. However, it marks an improvement from the previous year’s loss of $0.39 per share.
This indicates some progress, although the company still struggles to meet market expectations. The company’s actual revenue for the period was $85.3 million, falling short of the estimated $88.9 million. This shortfall in revenue highlights the challenges HOFT faces in achieving its sales targets.
The price-to-sales ratio of approximately 0.30 suggests that the stock is valued at 30 cents for every dollar of sales, indicating a low market valuation relative to its sales. HOFT’s financial metrics reveal further insights into its current situation. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately -9.30 and an earnings yield of about -10.75% reflect negative earnings.
The enterprise value to sales ratio of 0.46 and the enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio of -7.91 indicate challenges in generating positive cash flow. Despite these challenges, the debt-to-equity ratio of 0.34 shows a moderate level of debt, and a current ratio of 3.53 suggests a strong ability to cover short-term liabilities.
