American Outdoor Brands Inc. Suspends Fiscal 2026 Net Sales Guidance

American Outdoor Brands Inc., a leading provider of outdoor lifestyle products and shooting sports accessories, has announced the suspension of its fiscal 2026 net sales guidance. This decision, reported on June 26, 2025, by Seeking Alpha, is attributed to a demand pull-forward in the fourth quarter and ongoing tariff uncertainties that have reshaped the company’s outlook.

The company, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker AOUT, specializes in products for hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, and personal security. Despite the suspension of guidance, American Outdoor Brands reported strong financial performance for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025. According to a press release on June 26, 2025, the company achieved net sales of $222.3 million, marking a 10.6% year-over-year increase. The gross margin improved by 60 basis points to 44.6%, and the non-GAAP net income reached $10.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, up from the previous year.

The company’s non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA also saw a significant rise, increasing by 81% year-over-year to $17.7 million. The outdoor lifestyle segment experienced a 16.2% increase in net sales, while the shooting sports segment also showed positive growth.

In the earnings call transcript for Q4 2025, American Outdoor Brands reported a non-GAAP EPS of $0.13, surpassing expectations by $0.24, and revenue of $61.94 million, beating estimates by $13.48 million. This performance was highlighted by Investing.com, noting that while the EPS missed estimates, the revenue exceeded expectations.

As of June 25, 2025, the company’s stock closed at $11.96, with a 52-week high of $17.908 on January 30, 2025, and a low of $8.1 on July 1, 2024. The market capitalization stood at approximately $140.97 million.

Investors and analysts are closely monitoring the company’s performance, especially in light of the suspended guidance and the broader market dynamics. As the company navigates these challenges, its ability to adapt to changing market conditions will be crucial for future growth.
