#1 - American Outdoor Brands (NASDAQ:SWBI)
Shares of American Outdoor Brands (NASDAQ:SWBI) are up over 26% in the last six months. This is important to consider when thinking about gun stocks. SWBI stock was on the rise well before the nation first heard about a mysterious virus coming out of Wuhan, China.
If you’re new to gun stocks, American Outdoor Brands is the parent company of the iconic firearm brand Smith & Wesson. In fact, that was the company’s name until the beginning of 2017. At that time, the company wanted to have a name that better reflected the breadth of its product line which had grown to include outdoor gear and sporting goods.
However, the company still manufactures firearms. And the Smith & Wesson name is still one of the leading national brands. Since 2017, firearm sales have increased every year by a significant margin. Still, the company has announced plans to make a clear separation of its firearms business from the rest of the business.
The company is not widely covered by analysts, but it does have a consensus buy rating. And with a consensus 12-month price target of over $11 per share, there’s a lot of upside for SWBI stock, particularly during an election year which has been historically good for firearms sales.
