Sturm, Ruger & Company Vs. Smith & Wesson: Which American Gun Manufacturer Wins In A Shootout?
Ruger and Smith & Wesson are both strong brands, but I favor Ruger due to its debt-free balance sheet and effective management. Both companies have low growth prospects, and neither is currently priced attractively enough to warrant investment. Ruger's management impressed me with their strategic acquisition of Marlin and working through a period of slow sales without taking on debt.

SWBI: Time To Double Down On Guns
SWBI saw a post-election boost but faced a significant 20% drop after disappointing Q2 earnings, driven by inflation and softening demand. Despite short-term challenges, SWBI's strong capital allocation strategy, including a 4.6% dividend yield and aggressive share repurchase program, supports long-term shareholder value. The inconsistency in gun control legislation under Trump adds uncertainty, but SWBI's lack of long-term debt and strategic buybacks mitigate risks.
