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.
