Losses Widen Even As Revenue Reaches About US$6.4b

• Over the last 12 months to Q4 2025, Camping World generated about US$6.4b of revenue while recording a net loss of US$89.8 million and basic EPS loss of US$1.43.
• Consensus narrative suggests remote work and affordable offerings can support revenue and margin growth, yet the trailing 12 month loss and EPS trend, from a loss of US$0.55 per share in Q4 2024 to a loss of US$1.07 per share in Q4 2025, shows profitability has not yet lined up with that view.
  • Analysts expecting ongoing support from domestic, experience focused travel need to square that with four consecutive loss making quarters on a trailing basis.
  • Store productivity and cost reductions are highlighted in the consensus story, but the move from a US$31.6 million loss in Q4 2024 to a US$67.3 million loss in Q4 2025 underlines that these effects are not yet visible in net income.

Interest Coverage Risk Stands Out Against 8.1% Revenue Growth

• Over the last year, revenue grew at about 8.1% annually compared with a stated 11% for the broader US market, while earnings were not sufficient to cover interest expense.
• Bears focus on high debt and weak interest coverage, and the combination of multi year earnings declines of about 70.8% per year and ongoing losses, including a US$40.4 million loss in Q3 2025 and US$67.3 million loss in Q4 2025, strongly supports that cautious view.
  • The risk that higher costs and competition could pressure margins further is consistent with the company staying unprofitable on a trailing 12 month basis despite revenue near US$6.4b.
  • Concerns that debt limits flexibility are reinforced by the fact that earnings have not covered interest, meaning the business relies on future improvements rather than current profits to service obligations.

On this point, skeptics who worry about leverage and margin pressure get clear support from the recent numbers and may want to weigh how that lines up with the detailed cautious case in the 🐻 Camping World Holdings Bear Case

Low 0.1x P/S Versus Peers, Yet Above DCF Fair Value

• The shares trade on a P/S of 0.1x, below the US Specialty Retail industry average of 0.5x, while the current share price of US$8.19 sits above the DCF fair value of about US$1.73 and also below an analyst price target of US$14.33.
• Bulls point to used inventory focus, omni channel operations and recurring revenue as reasons the market may be underpricing the story, and the low P/S multiple versus peers fits that argument even though the current loss of US$89.8 million and negative EPS over the last 12 months show that the business has not yet converted this model into positive trailing earnings.
  • Claims that higher margin recurring services and memberships can support stronger profitability have not yet shown up in trailing net income, which stayed in loss territory across the past year.
  • At the same time, a 0.1x P/S compared with 0.5x for the industry gives bulls a concrete valuation gap to point to, especially if they think revenue growth near 8.1% can be maintained or improved.
