Shares of Smith & Wesson Inc. NASDAQ: SWBI are down 12% after the company reported its fourth quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025 after the market closed on June 18. The firearms manufacturer reported $140.76 million in revenue in the quarter.
The gun manufacturer's sales plummeted roughly 50% between its 2021 and 2023 fiscal years, and they have flatlined since.
Downgrading Smith & Wesson due to disappointing free cash flow and weak FY25 results, missing revenue and earnings estimates. Rising inventory, declining cash reserves, and increased debt signal potential financial strain and risk to future dividends and buybacks. The current valuation is too high given the lack of near-term growth, ongoing macroeconomic pressures, and execution challenges.
