Brunswick Corporation (NYSE:BC), a leading name in the Leisure and Recreation Products industry, offers a wide array of products, including boats and propulsion systems. Currently, the company is facing tough market conditions, leading to a hold rating due to a slow recovery in demand, which is affecting its financial outcomes.
On November 1, 2024, Nancy E. Cooper, a director at Brunswick, sold 366 shares of the company's common stock at $80.19 each, leaving her with 24,557 shares. This sale occurred amidst scrutiny of Brunswick's financial results. The company's third-quarter earnings for 2024 were disappointing, with earnings per share (EPS) of $1.17, just below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.18 and a significant decrease from the $2.42 per share reported in the same quarter the previous year.
Brunswick's revenue for the quarter ended September 2024 was $1.27 billion, slightly exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.36%. However, this represents a decrease from the $1.59 billion reported in the same quarter the previous year. The company has surpassed consensus revenue estimates only once in the last four quarters, underscoring ongoing challenges in its core segments, especially boats and propulsion.
Despite these challenges, Brunswick maintains a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately 19.70, indicating the price investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings. The company's price-to-sales ratio is about 0.98, suggesting that the stock is valued at less than one times its sales. These metrics reflect the market's cautious optimism about Brunswick's future performance.
Brunswick's financial health is further illustrated by its debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 1.26, indicating a balanced approach to financing its assets. The current ratio of about 1.97 suggests that the company has nearly twice as many current assets as current liabilities, a sign of good short-term financial health. However, the market's expectation of a recovery that may not materialize poses potential downside risks for the company.
