Smith & Wesson Q1 Earnings: Rising Spending Weighs On The Balance Sheet
Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. earns a Buy rating as demand and market share improve despite ongoing industry cyclicality. Q1 net sales rose 32.3% year-over-year to $113 million, with gross margin up to 28.7%, but underlying margin gains were partly driven by one-off tariff refunds. Full-year revenue guidance targets 5–7% growth, reflecting management's expectation of softer demand in the second half after a regulatory-driven Q1 surge.
