Analysts believe F1: The Movie could turbocharge a fire-hot stock — but probably not the one you think.

Home appliance maker SharkNinja’s $SN ( ▼ 0.18% ) stock is up 24% since last month and more than 50% over the past 12. But Bank of America $BAC ( ▼ 0.51% ) sees around 17% more upside in its future, raising its price target to $130 and reiterating a Buy rating.

Why? Two words: Brad Pitt.

Okay, so Pitt wasn’t the only potential catalyst name-checked by the bank. But the bull case does have more to do with the Hollywood star than you might think.

SharkNinja’s marketing reach could get a global boost from Brad Pitt’s role in F1: The Movie, BoA analyst Alexander Perry argued. The company sponsors Pitt’s racing team in the film, and Perry believes doing so could significantly elevate brand awareness in international markets. To date, the film has grossed nearly $300 million globally.

According to the analyst, as the company aims to expand across EMEA, particularly in France and Germany, the film’s success could offer a timely helping hand.

The bank is also bullish on SharkNinja’s strong sales momentum and innovation. Perry believes it will continue to gain market share in both new and existing product categories, while new product launches stand to boost wholesale distribution.

Recent Nielsen point-of-sale data shows its North American sales could grow in the mid-single digits for Q2, exceeding its guidance of low-single digit growth. Perry added that better inventory availability at the end of June supported accelerated sales, particularly in core categories like vacuums.

As the company continues to innovate and expand product offerings, BoA expects retail performance to remain a key driver of earnings and investor confidence heading into the second half of the year. 12 of 13 analysts covering the stock seem to agree, rating it a Buy.
