Fox Factory Points to Lower Demand for Baseball Equipment -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Nov 08

1438 ET - Fox Factory says its retail partners are pulling back on orders as consumers buy less baseball and softball gear. Sales in the company's specialty-sports segment fell 11% in the latest quarter as original equipment manufacturers, distributors and retail partners cut down on their inventory levels due to softer consumer demand, Chief Executive Mike Dennison says during a call with analysts. Results for the segment's Marucci brand -- which sells metal and wood bats, gloves, apparel, footwear and accessories for baseball and softball -- were particularly below expectations, he says. "The broader macro concerns surrounding consumers remain a challenge," Dennison says during a call with analysts. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
