Brunswick stock beats Q2 estimates, Citi reiterates Buy rating

Investing.com - Brunswick Corp (NYSE:BC) reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $1.16, exceeding both analyst expectations and company guidance, despite a 36% year-over-year decline. The company, currently trading at a P/E ratio of 16.16, has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years, with a current yield of 2.66%.

The Q2 results surpassed Citi’s estimate of $1.04 and beat the Street’s consensus of $0.98. The company’s performance also exceeded the high end of Brunswick’s previously guided range of $0.80-$1.10 provided after the first quarter. According to InvestingPro analysis, Brunswick’s current market price suggests the stock is trading near its Fair Value, with 10+ additional exclusive insights available to subscribers.

According to Citi, the propulsion segment drove the majority of the earnings beat, with the boat segment also contributing positively to the results. Brunswick shares were down 4% in premarket trading despite the earnings beat.

Brunswick maintained its full-year guidance unchanged, which Citi noted was net of a meaningful tariff benefit. This effectively implies a downward revision to the underlying guidance excluding the tariff impact.

Citi analyst James Hardiman reiterated a Buy rating on Brunswick with a $68.00 price target, noting that while the industry has significantly underperformed expectations year-to-date, this underperformance is primarily in lower-margin value categories, with June showing less decline and July month-to-date sales turning positive.
