As an equity research analyst for WedBush Securities, Basham covers all of the pure-play public mattress companies — like TSI, Sleep Number, and Purple — in addition to a number of other companies in big-ticket retail categories with similar industry dynamics. In this episode (recorded 12/16/22), Jeff and Mike get his thoughts on the state of the industry, the competitive landscape, pandemic hangover, tactics that are winning (and losing) in the marketplace, the outlook for 2023, the future of Mattress Firm, and more.
