Winnebago Guides FY27 Below Consensus as RV Demand Stays Weak
WGO is trading near its 52-week low of $21.95 (11% above the low) on elevated volume (3.0× avg).
Summary
Q4 adjusted EPS of 49 cents edged the 47-cent consensus, but revenue fell 17% to $645.1M and missed the $660M estimate as price hikes failed to offset lower volumes and an unfavorable mix. The bigger problem is the outlook: fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS is guided to $1.65-$2.25 versus $2.27 consensus, and revenue to $2.65B-$2.8B versus $2.8B expected. Management explicitly does not expect North American RV shipments to rebound, projecting 265,000-295,000 units in calendar 2027 against 275,000-295,000 in 2026. This follows the 8-K filed at 11:51 ET with the same numbers and comes after Q3 already forced a full-year guidance cut in June. RV demand is a discretionary consumer bellwether, so the soft outlook reads as a warning on middle-income spending, not just a company-specific issue.
