Broken: Primary pillar broken — Operating income improves to positive territory: metric not reported.
Johnson Outdoors is growing revenue from $107.6M to $194.5M in recent quarters. Operating income improved from -$20.2M to $10.3M, showing better cost control. The company is unprofitable but making progress. Recent earnings beats support a recovery story.
The company remains unprofitable with negative EPS estimates for the current quarter. Revenue growth is slowing and analyst revisions are down. The turnaround may stall and margins could weaken again.
The price is about 2% above our fair value near $42. Analysts expect only about 1% revenue growth, which is lower than recent growth. Our view sees risk in sustaining the turnaround.
Breaks if: Operating income falls below $0 next year
Continue efforts to increase operating income through operational improvements and cost management.
