Smith & Wesson Up After Analyst Says Revenue Will Grow and Profit Margins Will Expand

 

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of gun maker Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. rose Wednesday after an analyst started coverage with a "Positive" rating, saying the company's revenue will increase as it launches new products and books more orders from the military.

ADVERTISEMENT

While Smith & Wesson is famous for its revolvers, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Cheryl Cortez said the company's military and police weapons have helped it take a stronger position in the semi-automatic market. That market offers a lot of potential for the company, she said.

Product lines the company gained from its buyout of Thompson/Center Arms in January 2007, including hunting rifles, will also help improve sales.

"Smith & Wesson has recently launched its bolt-action rifles and has many other products in the pipeline," Cortez said. "New products are expected to gain popularity and wide market acceptance on the back of Smith & Wesson's strong brand name."

She added that profit margins should grow due to the expansion of Smith and Wesson's gun barrel manufacturing facility and the integration of Thomson/Center Arms.

The stock rose 32 cents, or 6.6 percent, to $5.15 Wednesday. Smith & Wesson shares have traded around annual lows over the last two months, and took a steep drop in October after the company cut its fiscal-year profit outlook. It cut its forecast again in December.

Cortez said she estimates the Springfield, Mass., company will earn 31 cents per share in the year ending April 30, compared to the company's estimate of 40 cents per share.

She expects a profit of 46 cents per share in fiscal 2009, while analysts polled by Thomson Financial forecast a profit of 61 cents per share that year

Tuesday January 8, 8:00 am ET

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: SWHC - News), parent company of Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary 155-year old company in the global business of safety, security, protection and sport, announced today that it has formed a Military Advisory Council, comprised of distinguished military leaders including Four Star General Bryan Brown U.S. Army Retired; Four Star General James T. Hill U.S. Army Retired; and Rear Admiral David M. Stone U.S. Navy Retired.

Michael F. Golden, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation President and CEO, said, "This is an impressive group of highly accomplished, senior level, recently retired military officers. As a council, their mission will be to share their knowledge and experience by helping Smith & Wesson's senior management team to understand the needs of the military market and to deliver products that meet those needs."

General Bryan "Doug" Brown has amassed 40 years of military service prior to his recent retirement, and served most recently as the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. USSOCOM is responsible for all Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps Special Operations Forces and is the Department of Defense's lead command for planning and synchronizing the Global War on Terrorism. General Brown is the first member of the Army's Aviation Branch to be promoted to the rank of Four Star General and is the senior aviator in the U.S. Army, with more than 4400 hours of flight time in both fixed and rotary winged aircraft. His awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal with "V" Device, Joint Service Commendation Medal, and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. He also wears the Special Forces Tab, Master Army Aviator Badge, Military Free Fall Parachutist Badge, and the Air Assault Badge. General Brown is also a recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

General James T. Hill is a former soldier-diplomat whose expertise at the highest levels of government is operational, strategic and political. Prior to retiring from his 37-year military career, his most recent military post was as Combatant Commander of U.S. Southern Command, commanding all U.S. military operations and relationships in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Upon retirement, General Hill was one of nine Presidential appointees to The 2005 Base Realignment and Base Closure Commission. General Hill is the President/Principal of The JT Hill Group, Inc. based in Coral Gables, Florida. He currently sits on the boards of directors of Fraunhofer USA, InB: BioTechnologies, Inc. and The Protective Group. He is a retained consultant to Northrop Grumman, The Protective Group, and the Center for Molecular Biology.

Admiral David M. Stone has amassed over 30 years of experience in national and homeland security, most recently as head of the Transportation Security Agency (TSA), where he managed a budget of $5.6 billion and 54,000 employees, and was responsible for the security of the entire U.S. transportation system, including mass transit, rail, highway, pipeline, maritime and aviation systems.

Golden concluded, "As we continue to diversify our company, the U.S. government, and specifically the military and federal government channels, will continue to present us with opportunities for growth.

Smith & Wesson Receives Order from Colorado State Patrol
Monday January 28, 9:00 am ET  
Contract Represents Fourth State Police Department Order for M&P Pistols

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: SWHC - News), parent company of Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary 156-year old company in the global business of safety, security, protection and sport, announced today that it has received an order from the Colorado State Patrol for 850 of the company's Military & Police (M&P) Series of advanced-design polymer pistols. The Smith & Wesson M&P40, chambered in .40 S&W, will be issued to each officer of the Colorado State Patrol to replace early-model Smith & Wesson pistols that have served as the primary duty firearms for the department.

Officials at the Colorado State Patrol indicated that the M&P pistol incorporated several key features including enhanced ergonomics and ambidextrous controls that are valuable for their officers. The department added that the polymer pistol's interchangeable grip sizes, ease of maintenance and ability to disassemble the firearm without pressing the trigger were all primary factors in their decision-making process. The M&P40 was selected after an extensive testing and evaluation process which included various competitors. The M&P40 pistols will replace the department's existing Smith & Wesson Model 4006 pistols.

The contract with the Colorado State Patrol represents the fourth state police department order that Smith & Wesson has received for the M&P pistols. Other full-conversion state police departments that have selected the M&P pistol for use in duty include the Iowa State Patrol, the New Mexico State Police and New Hampshire State Police. Currently, the New Mexico State Police issues four categories of Smith & Wesson products to its officers. Along with the newly acquired M&P357 pistols, the department also issues Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifles, Model 637 backup revolvers, and Smith & Wesson handcuffs. The New Hampshire State Police and Highway Patrol divisions currently issue the M&P45 pistols to their officers while the Iowa State Patrol selected the .40 S&W caliber polymer pistols.

Leland Nichols, President and Chief Operating Officer of Smith & Wesson Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, said, "We are extremely pleased with the continued success that the M&P pistol has achieved in police departments across the nation. Contracts from agencies such as the Colorado State Patrol allow other departments within the state the ability to access their testing and evaluation results, saving those smaller agencies both time and expense by streamlining their own selection process. Smith & Wesson will continue to support the professional law enforcement community with new product additions to the M&P line and we especially look forward to continuing our partnership with the Colorado State Patrol."

The M&P pistol features a Zytel® polymer frame reinforced with a rigid stainless steel chassis and a through-hardened black Melonite® finished stainless steel barrel and slide for durability; a passive trigger safety to prevent the pistol from firing if dropped; and a sear release lever that eliminates the need to press the trigger in order to disassemble the firearm. A loaded chamber indicator is located on top of the slide. The firearm also features an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, as well as an enlarged trigger guard designed to accommodate gloves. The M&P40 has a 15 + 1 capacity and the Smith & Wesson lifetime service policy is standard with each pistol. The M&P pistol series is available in 9mm, .40S&W, .357SIG, and .45ACP calibers. Compact versions of the M&P pistol are also available for concealed carry and back-up use.

Produziert Smith & Wesson eigentlich immernoch "nur" Revolver? Heutzutage kaufen die Leute doch (wenn überhaupt bei den strengen Vorschriften) fast nur noch Pistolen.

Der Markt bei den Amis dürfte auch stark gesättigt sein - bei denen hat doch jeder schon 5 Schusswaffen und kaputt gehen die ja recht selten.

Smith & Wesson muss Gewinnrückgang ausweisen
09:00 08.09.11

Springfield (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die amerikanische Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CO Aktie), ein Hersteller von Handfeuerwaffen, musste im ersten Quartal einen Gewinnrückgang ausweisen.

Wie der Konzern am Mittwochabend nach Börsenschluss verkündete, lag der Umsatz im Berichtszeitraum mit 99,2 Mio. US-Dollar um 4,5 Prozent über dem Vorjahreswert von 94,9 Mio. US-Dollar. Unter dem Strich wurde beim Nettoergebnis ein Rückgang auf 791.000 US-Dollar bzw. 1 Cent je Aktie ausgewiesen, nach einem Nettogewinn von 6,21 Mio. US-Dollar bzw. 10 Cents je Aktie im Vorjahreszeitraum. Vor Einmaleffekten hatte der bereinigte Gewinn je Aktie im Berichtszeitraum bei 5 Cents je Aktie gelegen. CEO Michael F. Golden bezeichnete die Nachfrage nach Feuerwaffen nach wie vor als stark, allerdings habe man unter Budgetkürzungen der Regierung zu leiden. Analysten hatten zuvor ein Break Even-Ergebnis je Aktie sowie einen Umsatz von 95,1 Mio. US-Dollar erwartet.

Für das laufende Quartal liegen die Analystenschätzungen bei einem EPS von 4 Cents sowie einem Umsatz von 107,3 Mio. US-Dollar.

Für das laufende Fiskaljahr erwartet Smith & Wesson einen Umsatz von 410,0 bis 425,0 Mio. US-Dollar. Für das laufende Fiskaljahr gehen Analysten von einem EPS von 18 Cents bei Umsatzerlösen von 427,2 Mio. US-Dollar aus.

Die Aktie von Smith & Wesson notierte zuletzt bei 3,06 US-Dollar. (08.09.2011/ac/n/a)
