Where SWBI is headed
Smith & Wesson exits 2027 looking nothing like the COVID-bubble stock people still mentally price it as. The Maryville, Tennessee plant has been running at full tilt for two years, the Springfield legacy cost base is gone, and the product mix has tilted hard toward higher-margin pistols (the new performance center 1911s, the Bodyguard 2.0 family) and into adjacencies most analysts barely model, suppressors and the lever-action revival. Revenue sits in the $620-680M range, gross margins climb back through 30%, and EPS lands in the $0.85-1.10 zone depending on how aggressive the buyback gets against a $635M market cap.
