Toro Reduces Full-Year Projections due to Expected Tariff Effects on Lawn Mower Production
The Lowdown on Toro:
Toro (TTC), known for their lawnmowers and snowblowers, is feeling the heat (pun intended) of anticipated tariff impacts and has issued a downgrade for their profit and sales projections for fiscal 2025.
They've lowered their full-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to a range of $4.15 to $4.30, down from the optimistic $4.25 to $4.40 they had previously envisioned[1][2]. Ouch, that hurts! But it gets worse - they're now anticipating net sales to be flat to down 3%, marking a significant deviation from their earlier forecast of growth ranging from 0% to 1%[2].
Why the gloomy outlook? The main culprits are the dreaded tariffs and a slew of macroeconomic factors that have sent homeowners and distribution channels into a holding pattern[2]. These factors have reduced Toro's expected volume[2]. However, it's not all doom and gloom as their professional segments, such as golf and construction, are still showing signs of robust demand[3].
The company reported a fiscal second-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.42 on net sales of $1.32 billion, falling short of analysts' predictions of $1.38 in EPS and $1.35 billion in sales[4]. Touchdown, Toro, but not quite the touchdown they were hoping for!
Toro's stock took a hit, dropping nearly 6% in early trading on Thursday. But despite this setback, the stock is still up approximately 5% for the year[4].
