Brunswick: Rating Downgrade On Poor Fundamentals And Macro Conditions
I am downgrading Brunswick Corporation stock to a sell due to deteriorating fundamentals, worsening macro conditions, and significant tariff risks impacting earnings. BC's 1Q25 results showed a 10.5% y/y decline in net sales, severe margin compression, and lowered FY25 guidance, indicating management's concerns. Tariffs could add $100-$125 million in costs, with mitigation measures uncertain, posing a high risk of BC missing its updated guidance.

Minimal Direct U.S. Tariff Impact For Brunswick; Hold Your Nose And Buy 5-Year Lows
Brunswick Corp.'s stock has dropped significantly, and I've moved from a Sell to a Hold and finally to a Buy after the fallout from the Trump Administration's tariff experiments. With Brunswick being primarily a U.S. manufacturer whose clients are mostly in America, the direct tariff impacts here are fairly limited. Additionally, any continuation of U.S. Dollar weakness would present a tailwind for the company.
