Sturm Ruger reports Q1 EPS 46c vs 40c last year

Reports Q1 revenue $135.7M vs $136.82M last year. Chief Executive Officer Todd W. Seyfert commented on the first quarter of 2025, “The challenges in the firearms market are clear and well-documented across the industry. According to RetailBI’s Q1 2025 report, retail firearm unit sales declined 9.6% year-over-year, with revenue down 11.5%. Handguns, rifles, and shotguns were all under pressure, and even adjusted NICS checks declined by 4.2%. Despite these headwinds, I’m proud to report that Ruger remained flat in sales, while staying profitable. My mindset as CEO is that although the firearms industry may be cyclical, Ruger does not have to be, and our performance this quarter supports that.
