Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
Investing.com - BMO Capital reduced its price target on Winnebago Industries (NYSE:WGO) to $50.00 from $60.00 on Friday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the recreational vehicle manufacturer. The stock has declined over 35% in the past six months, with 11 analysts recently revising their earnings expectations downward, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target reduction follows Winnebago’s preliminary fiscal third-quarter 2025 results, which came in below market expectations according to the research firm.
BMO Capital trimmed its fiscal third-quarter 2025 estimates in line with management commentary and lowered projections for fiscal fourth-quarter 2025 and fiscal 2026 to reflect anticipated softer production levels this summer.
The firm cited "muted dealer ordering stemming from macro uncertainty" as the primary reason for the production slowdown, which is expected to continue until closer to calendar year 2026.
BMO Capital noted that Winnebago’s directional commentary aligns with statements from competitor Thor Industries (NYSE:THO) during its most recent earnings release, suggesting broader industry challenges rather than company-specific issues.
In other recent news, Winnebago Industries announced its preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, projecting adjusted earnings per share between $0.75 and $0.85, which falls short of the consensus estimate of $1.31.
