If you are curious how this coming report will impact shares of SWHC, then watch the video above to see David's thoughts on Smith and Wesson.

SWHC in Focus

Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation is one of the world's leading producers of quality handguns, law enforcement products and firearm safety and security products. Law enforcement personnel, military personnel, target shooters, hunters, collectors and firearms enthusiasts throughout the world have used the company's products for 150 years. 

The company is coming off a decent earnings beat last quarter, as SWHC surpassed estimates by over 43%, continuing a nice streak for the company in earnings season. However, despite the beat, investors are getting concerned about the gun market and continued growth in this segment, leading shares to their precarious position now.
