Smith & Wesson shares blasted by weaker outlook
While Smith & Wesson Holdings turned to a handy profit on brisk firearm volumes in it fiscal second quarter, shares plummeted as much as 17% in the early going on a weaker sales outlook.
Smith & Wesson (SWHC 4.40, -0.87, -16.55%) earned $13.3 million, or 21 cents a share, on the period, a turn form a loss of $76.2 million, or $1.62 a share in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit almost doubled to $34.6 million.
Sales came in at $108.8 million, up from $73.2 million for the comparable quarter last year with firearms sales of $93.4 million exceeding the company's expectations, it said.
"We continued to capitalize in our second quarter on the strong demand for products in both our firearms and perimeter security businesses to deliver a new record level of quarterly revenue," said Michael Golden, chief executive, in the earnings report. "Our factories leveraged production volumes, and we continued to focus on cost controls to deliver solid results."
Driven largely by the election of President Barack Obama and more Democrats to Congress last November, both perceived as being more likely to impose stronger gun-control laws, sales of firearms and ammunition have been exploding for the past year, especially those of semiautomatic rifles and handguns. See earlier story.
Smith & Wesson posted strong growth in both categories but also noted that sales of hunting related equipment were flat.
In a sign that demand may be abating or finally sated, the company said its order backlog has been declining.
It sees sales growth of between 8% and 14% in the fiscal third quarter, reflecting "more normalized levels of demand and production versus the spike that we experienced beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2009."
That sent Smith & Wesson shares down almost a dollar to $4.40, still double its 52-week low of $2.04 in February but well off a May peak of $7.52.
