Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Winnebago anticipates Q2 EPS of 27 cents and revenues of $625M for fiscal 2026.
Towable RV and Marine segments are projected to drive year-over-year sales growth.
Fiscal 2026 revenue outlook revised upward to $2.8-$3B, supported by strategic acquisitions.
Winnebago Industries (WGO - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on March 25, before the market opens. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings and revenues is pegged at 27 cents per share and $625.03 million, respectively.
The consensus mark for second-quarter earnings per share has declined 7 cents in the past 90 days. The estimate for the bottom line implies 42.1% growth from the year-ago levels. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues suggests year-over-year growth of 0.8%.
Winnebago reported adjusted earnings of 38 cents per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended Nov. 29, 2025), beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 12 cents. WGO incurred a loss of 3 cents in the year-ago period. It reported revenues of $703 million for the fiscal first quarter, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $631 million. The top line increased 12.3% year over year.
Winnebago's earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and matched once, delivering an average surprise of 60.4%.
Winnebago's strategic acquisitions have strengthened its business portfolio. The Grand Design acquisition has solidified its towable RV offerings, while the Newmar purchase has enhanced the high-end motorized product lineup. Entry into the marine segment through the Chris-Craft buyout has broadened Winnebago's market reach. The Barletta acquisition has further strengthened Winnebago's position in the marine market, augmenting its network, portfolio and revenues.
The company is expected to have reported a slight uptick in second-quarter sales compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, supported mainly by gains in the Motorhome segment. Accordingly, it has revised its full-year fiscal 2026 outlook upward and now projects consolidated net revenues of $2.8-$3 billion compared to its previous forecast of $2.75-$2.95 billion.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, revenues from the Towable RV segment are expected to be $304.3 million, implying an increase of 5.6% year over year. We expect revenues from the Marine segment to be $103.1 million, representing a rise of 26.2% year over year. Anticipated growth in sales is likely to have boosted WGO performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Winnebago’s warranty expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 rose 40 basis points from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to 3.6% of net revenues. This trend is likely to have persisted in the to-be-reported quarter amid the company’s commitment to maintaining product quality and customer service, impacting margins.
