Investing.com - DA Davidson has raised its price target on Brunswick Corp (NYSE:BC) to $59.00 from $43.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, the stock currently trades at $60.60, with analyst targets ranging from $43 to $88.
The price target increase comes after Brunswick beat second-quarter 2025 earnings expectations and maintained its revenue and earnings per share guidance at the midpoint. The company has demonstrated strong financial health, with a current ratio of 1.68x and liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations, as shown by InvestingPro data.
Despite the positive earnings results, DA Davidson noted that Brunswick shares have traded lower following the report, suggesting market hesitation despite the company effectively removing its risk case with the updated guidance.
The research firm expressed uncertainty about whether the month-to-date performance in July is sustainable, citing concerns about the trajectory of retail sales and potential longer-term impacts related to tariffs.
DA Davidson’s new $59 price target is based on a 14x multiple of its fiscal year 2026 earnings estimate of $4.20 per share, which is $0.15 below the consensus estimate of $4.32.
