Yahoo Finance Spotting Winners: Polaris (NYSE:PII) And Leisure Products Stocks In Q1
Wrapping up Q1 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the leisure products stocks, including Polaris (NYSE:PII) and its peers.
Leisure products cover a wide range of goods in the consumer discretionary sector. Maintaining a strong brand is key to success, and those who differentiate themselves will enjoy customer loyalty and pricing power while those who don’t may find themselves in precarious positions due to the non-essential nature of their offerings.
The 16 leisure products stocks we track reported a mixed Q1; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 4.3%. while next quarter's revenue guidance was 3.5% below consensus. Stocks--especially those trading at higher multiples--had a strong end of 2023, but 2024 has seen periods of volatility. Mixed signals about inflation have led to uncertainty around rate cuts, and leisure products stocks have held roughly steady amidst all this, with share prices up 0.6% on average since the previous earnings results.
