AI Insight: RGR Financial Trends
Sturm Ruger's profitability has collapsed: four of the last five quarters show near-zero or negative operating income, with equity down $38M from peak.
• Operating income swung from $11M in Q4 2024 to -$21M in Q2 2025, and remained negative at -$2M in Q1 2026.
• Net income turned deeply negative at -$17M in Q2 2025 and recovered only to $0M in Q1 2026 — essentially no profit.
• Equity declined from $321M in Q1 2025 to $283M in Q1 2026, a $38M erosion over four quarters.
• Operating cash flow held relatively steady between $13M–$19M over the last four quarters despite negative operating income.
⚠ Operating income has been negative in three of the last four quarters; watch whether Q2 2026 can return to consistent profitability.
⚠ Revenue has ranged narrowly from $122M to $151M — no growth catalyst visible; top-line stagnation limits earnings recovery path.
⚠ Operating CF remaining positive ($19M in Q1 2026) while net income is zero suggests working-capital or non-cash items masking underlying weakness — worth scrutiny.
AI Insight: RGR Ratio Trends
Sturm Ruger has swung deeply unprofitable on a TTM basis, with operating margin turning negative at -4.1% after a damaging Q2 2025 collapse.
• Operating margin collapsed to -15.6% in Q2 2025 from 6.2% in Q1 2025, driving the TTM operating margin to -4.1%.
• ROIC swung from a peak of 14.3% in Q4 2024 to -28.6% in Q2 2025, with TTM ROIC now at -8.0%.
• Q4 2025 showed a partial recovery — operating margin rebounded to 2.3% and ROE to 4.9% — but Q1 2026 slipped back to -1.4% and 0.2% respectively.
⚠ Q1 2026 operating margin of -1.4% and near-zero NPM of 0.1% suggest the Q2 2025 damage has not been fully repaired.
⚠ Whether Q2 2025's severe losses were a one-time event or signal structural demand/cost deterioration is critical to monitor.
⚠ A return to Q4 2024 profitability levels (OpMargin 7.8%, ROIC 14.3%) would confirm recovery; current trajectory remains uncertain.
