What the filing says
Sturm Ruger reported Q2 2026 net sales of $158M (up 19% vs Q2 2025), adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.5%, and diluted EPS of $0.43 (vs loss of $1.05 prior year). New products contributed $81M (29% of firearm sales) in H1 2026. The company established the Ruger Business System operational framework, improved manufacturing output, and rebuilt finished goods inventory while maintaining balanced channel inventory. Cash stood at $118M with no debt, a $0.21 dividend was declared, and H1 operating cash flow rose 39% to $36M.
Why this rating
Strong 19% sales growth, 5 consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth, improved profitability metrics, and operational improvements meaningful to a $583M company. New products, manufacturing efficiency gains, and accessory expansion are real drivers. However, delayed product launches due to demand constraints and elevated backorders suggest capacity constraints limit upside in near term.
