Winnebago Slashes Full-Year Revenue and EPS Outlook, Citing Weak RV Demand
Summary
Winnebago significantly lowered its full-year revenue guidance to $2.65B-$2.75B and adjusted EPS guidance to $1.65-$2.00, a substantial reduction from prior estimates. This follows earlier reports of macroeconomic pressure on retail demand, now quantified with specific financial impacts. While Q3 revenue of $775.1M beat analyst estimates, adjusted EPS of $0.66 missed by a dime. The company cited a challenging retail environment, high fuel costs, and weak consumer confidence, especially for towable RVs. This substantial downgrade to future profitability will likely weigh heavily on investor sentiment.
