Sturm Ruger Q2 Sales Jump 19% on Strong Firearm Demand, Higher Prices
RGR sits 41% above its 52-week low of $28.33.
Summary
Sturm Ruger delivered a strong Q2, with net sales up 19% year-over-year driven by robust retail demand and a 10% increase in average selling prices. Adjusted EPS rose to $0.52 from $0.41 a year ago, reflecting improved manufacturing execution and inventory management. The company swung to a profit as firearms demand drove revenue growth. This follows a challenging Q1 where near-zero net income was weighed down by non-recurring costs and the Beretta proxy contest. The company now expects about $30 million in capital expenditures for 2026 as it focuses on operational strengthening. The results signal a sharp recovery in core profitability, with sell-through to retailers outpacing the broader market.
