Michael Happe, president and chief executive officer of Winnebago, had this to say about the WGO stock earnings:
“Our third fiscal quarter was a uniquely challenging time for Winnebago Industries, as it spanned the most intense portion of the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. … As we ramp up operations across our portfolio, I have been inspired by the efforts our team members have put forth to ensure our manufacturing, warehouse, service, office, and remote environments are as safe as possible. Despite the COVID-19 disruption and ongoing related obstacles, we have not lost our focus on quality, innovation and customer service. We have grown market share, strengthened dealer and supplier relationships, and maintained key investments in initiatives critical to our future.”
Moreover, the company does not mention any sort of fiscal 2020 guidance. That said, we know what Wall Street is expecting for the year. Analysts are calling for EPS of $1.83 on revenue of $2.15 billion.
