Malibu Boats Inc. (MBUU) saw its stock price plummet by 5.19% in Thursday's trading session, despite reporting better-than-expected third-quarter fiscal 2025 results. The sharp decline comes as the company updated its full-year guidance, signaling potential challenges ahead.
For the third quarter, Malibu Boats reported sales of $228.7 million, surpassing the IBES estimate of $226 million. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.72, beating the expected $0.69. Additionally, Malibu Boats posted an adjusted EBITDA of $28.3 million, outperforming the estimated $26.6 million, while net income reached $13.2 million, slightly above the projected $12.9 million.
However, the positive Q3 results were overshadowed by the company's revised full-year outlook. Malibu Boats announced it is updating its fiscal year guidance "to reflect current conditions and maintain a clear focus on aligning dealer inventory levels with retail demand." Most notably, the company now expects full-year net sales to decline between 3% and 5% year-over-year. This cautious outlook appears to have sparked investor concerns, leading to the significant drop in stock price despite the strong quarterly performance.
