Analysis · BC · Technology
Adjusted EPS of $1.56 sailed past expectations, prompting a full-year guidance raise to $4.35–$4.75. For the fourth straight quarter, every segment grew sales, fueled by solid OEM demand, elevated boating participation, and IEEPA tariff refunds. Balance-sheet discipline remains a priority, with plans to retire at least $160 million in debt and $35 million in share repurchases already completed year-to-date. The upgraded outlook and broad-based execution underscore resilience even against a cloudy macro backdrop.
