As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here's a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q1. Today, we are looking at leisure products stocks, starting with Brunswick (NYSE:BC).
Leisure products cover a wide range of goods in the consumer discretionary sector. Maintaining a strong brand is key to success, and those who differentiate themselves will enjoy customer loyalty and pricing power while those who don’t may find themselves in precarious positions due to the non-essential nature of their offerings.
The 16 leisure products stocks we track reported a mixed Q1; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 4.3%. while next quarter's revenue guidance was 3.5% below consensus. Stocks--especially those trading at higher multiples--had a strong end of 2023, but 2024 has seen periods of volatility. Mixed signals about inflation have led to uncertainty around rate cuts, and leisure products stocks have had a rough stretch, with share prices down 7.5% on average since the previous earnings results.
