American Outdoor Brands price target lowered to $14 from $15.50 at Roth Capital

Roth Capital lowered the firm’s price target on American Outdoor Brands (AOUT) to $14 from $15.50 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company delivered a “strong” Q4, highlighted by “much-better-than-expected” sales growth of 34% year-over-year, the analyst stated. While pull-forward demand from retail customers helped, the firm still calculates a core growth rate of greater than12% year-over-year adjusting for the benefit, the analyst added. Management pulled its FY26 sales outlook, citing too many tariff/demand variables, notes the analyst, who expects “a transitional year ahead,” but says the firm’s positive thesis is intact.
