$83.79+0.77 (+0.9%)

Gekko Brief

AI summary

Acushnet's stock this week has been shaped by continuing attention to its second-quarter 2026 results, with sales growth momentum from Titleist Golf Equipment and steady FootJoy and Golf Gear performance cited as drivers of investor confidence. Sell-side coverage has also been in focus, with brokerages rating the stock a "Hold," an average 12-month price target of $97.57 noted against a recent share price of $83.11, and Acushnet's presentation at a Small-Cap Virtual Conference highlighting 15 consecutive years of sales growth alongside tariff and freight-cost challenges. Several Form 4 filings appeared during the week, including dividend-equivalent share acquisitions by director Jan Singer and executive Mary Louise Bohn.

GOLF closed at $83.79, up 0.9%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $91.22 and 200-day average of $94.56, with the 50-day below the 200-day. Over the past three months the shares are down 28.6%, though they remain up 11.2% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 62.2, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while the price sits 7.9% above the Gekko Fair Value of $77.67.

Over the next 20 trading days, no earnings report is expected, with the next date set for 4 November 2026, 36 days away. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days from this point in the calendar have averaged a -0.6% return over 5 years, rising in 3 of them, a mixed signal worth noting alongside the four analyst firms currently rating the stock Hold.

Last earnings call, Aug 6, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Acushnet reported strong 2Q26 and first-half results driven by Titleist Golf Equipment, particularly clubs (GTS metals) and steady performance from FootJoy and Golf Gear. Net sales were $820M in Q2 (+14% y/y) and $1.57B for the first half (+10% y/y). Adjusted EBITDA rose 46% in Q2 to $209M, partly due to IEEPA tariff refunds (~$38M benefit in Q2, $30M expected for year net of incentive comp). First-half adjusted EBITDA was $353M (+25%). Gross margin expanded materially (Q2 gross margin 54.4%, up 520 bps; first-half 50.9%, up 230 bps) largely aided by tariff refunds; excluding refunds, first-half gross margin was 48.1% (-50 bps y/y). Management highlighted investments in manufacturing capacity (cast urethane lines), customization/automation, and IT/fitting network. Rounds of play are up low-single digits overall with strength in U.S., Japan, Korea and weakness vs prior-year comps in Europe due to weather. Material costs have moderated marginally; tariffs remain a headwind though refunds provided a benefit. Channel inventory and custom fitting demand are in good shape; plant capacity near full but expansion underway. Management maintained full-year outlook (midpoint revenue growth ~4.1%?) and reiterated confidence in full-year guidance, noting timing shift of club shipments from Q3 to Q2. Key risks: tariff exposure, material cost volatility, longer lead times for capacity expansion, softness in wearables (apparel/footwear) in some regions.
Guidance
Management reiterated full-year outlook; referenced a full-year EBITDA midpoint of $460 million and revenue growth midpoint ~4.1% (almost 4% constant currency) and guided net benefit from tariff refunds of $30 million for the year. No earnings-per-share or detailed quarterly revenue guidance beyond timing/seasonality commentary was provided.
Risks flagged
Tariff exposure and incremental tariff expense (~$29M higher in first half vs prior year) despite refunds; volatility in material costs (synthetic rubber, tungsten), elevated freight costs; potential capacity lead times (12-18 months) for plant expansions; softness in wearables/apparel/footwear in Asia and Europe; timing risks around product launches and inventory/channel timing.
