Shares of REV Group Inc. (REVG) are surging 18.07% in Wednesday's trading session following the release of impressive fiscal 2025 second-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations and an upgraded full-year outlook. The specialty vehicle manufacturer demonstrated robust financial performance and announced strategic initiatives, fueling investor optimism.
REV Group reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.70 for the second quarter, significantly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $0.62 and marking a 79.49% increase from $0.39 in the same period last year. The company's quarterly sales reached $629.1 million, surpassing the analyst forecast of $612.04 million and representing a 1.98% year-over-year growth.

The company also announced strategic initiatives, including a $20 million investment in its Brandon, South Dakota location to enhance manufacturing throughput, and the repurchase of approximately 2.9 million common shares for $88.4 million during the quarter. These moves demonstrate management's confidence in the company's future prospects and commitment to delivering shareholder value, contributing to the substantial stock price increase.
