Analysts foresee some tough times ahead for Sturm, Ruger. After a strong
gain in revenue, 2013 sales are expected to flatten out, and the target
stock price is just 5% above its current level.
From a business perspective, Sturm, Ruger's success shows few signs of
stopping. Both it and Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC ) should benefit from a
nearly 20% rise in background checks in 2012 compared with last year, and
that growth has accelerated in recent months with the re-election of
President Obama and fear of tighter restrictions on future gun sales.
But the Newtown shootings promise a vigorous response from gun-control
proponents, and as Sturm, Ruger's shares have fallen, those of non-lethal
weapon producer TASER (NASDAQ: TASR ) have risen on expectations of higher
orders. Still, even if gun legislation gets through the highly politicized
Congressional process, it would probably face years of court battles before
it could take effect. All the while, increased threats of a ban would
accelerate demand, potentially leading to the same bottlenecks we saw
earlier this year, when Ruger had to stop taking orders so it could catch up
with its backlog.
For Sturm, Ruger, much of its 2013 success may rely on what retailers decide
to do with their gun-sales policies. If moves from Dick's Sporting Goods (
NYSE: DKS ) to suspend certain gun sales spread to major retailer Wal-Mart
(NYSE: WMT ) and others, then it could lead to future problems. But at
least for now, the panic in Sturm, Ruger shares seems unfounded, and despite
analysts' reluctance to weigh in, the stock could easily move back toward
previous highs in 2013.
