Foolish take
It’s noteworthy when an investment management company, such as QV Investors, decides to initiate a position in a stock. The move indicates QV Investors has a bullish outlook towards BRP.
BRP is doing well despite macroeconomic headwinds such as persistent inflation and the unpredictable nature of global trade policies this year. Revenue in its fiscal second quarter, ended July 31, was up 4% year over year to 1.9 billion Canadian dollars.
Net income increased a strong 36% year over year to CA$57.1 million as the company adjusted inventory levels to adapt to the macroeconomic climate. BRP expects sales for its 2026 fiscal year to come in between CA$8.1 billion to CA$8.3 billion, up from CA$7.8 billion in the prior year.
Given BRP’s performance, it’s no wonder QV Investors decided to invest in the company. This is despite the increase in BRP’s share price this year, suggesting QV Investors believes BRP has more upside ahead.
With excellent business results amidst a tough economic environment, and as one of the leaders in the powersports space, BRP looks like a solid investment for the long haul.
