Summary
American Outdoor Brands reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $37.25 million, up 25% year-over-year and beating the $35.64 million consensus. Adjusted EPS swung to a $0.03 profit from a loss a year ago, far ahead of the -$0.24 estimate. Gross margin expanded to 53.0% from 46.7%, driven by broad-based growth across Outdoor Lifestyle and Shooting Sports categories and new products representing over 36% of sales. Management raised fiscal 2027 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $14.5-$17.5 million while maintaining revenue guidance of $200-$210 million. This follows a challenging fiscal 2026 marked by declining sales and a wider net loss, making the turnaround in profitability and margin expansion a notable inflection. The stock trades at 16x forward earnings versus 27x three months ago, reflecting improved earnings expectations.
