The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~December 3, 2026 (estimated)

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 17.0% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 14.9%.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$5.5 per share in the base case (~$4.2–$7.1 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Results well ahead of expectations: Reported earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate by 220% in the quarter to 2026-07-31, the 4th beat in the last four quarters.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 17.0% over the last 12 months, against a median of 7.6% for leisure products companies we cover.
  • Growth speeding up. The growth rate is 6.6 points higher than a quarter earlier.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 6.8% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Priced above our value. The share price of $13.25 is 59% above our value per share of $6.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 26.0% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the -8.6% a year revenue growth Smith & Wesson Brands has delivered.

Read with care: free cash flow has swung sharply in the past year (often a one-off tax, legal or working-capital item), so the cash-flow base behind this reading may be unusually low or high.

  • Priced in26.0%
  • Last 12 months17.0%
  • 3 years a year2.7%
  • 5 years a year-8.6%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($13.22, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($9.2M, FY2027 Q1 TTM), growing 6.3% and 8.8% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 9.8% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$4.2–~$7.1 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $9.2M, FY2027 Q1 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Includes results

A results date falls inside these options’ life. Implied volatility is meant to be higher for that, so we do not call it rich.

  • Implied is 1.80× the last 60 days’ realised volatility .
  • Puts and calls are priced at about the same implied volatility.
  • Why: an earnings date falls inside the option's life, so implied volatility is expected to be high.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

SWBI Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. Grade B $13.23

Own 100 shares, sell the $15.00 call expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days) for $0.35 a share — $35.00 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $0.35, ask $0.45, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:37 New York time with SWBI at $13.23. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If SWBI ends below $15.00: you keep your shares and the $35.00 — 2.6% extra on the position, 21.0% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $15.00: your shares are sold at $15.00, a total return of 16.0% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$5.5.

Results are expected around December 3, 2026, before this option expires: the share price can jump on results, and the premium partly reflects that.

Collar

Own the shares, buy the $13.00 put and sell the $15.00 call, both expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days).

  • Net cost of $0.65 a share ($65.00 per contract of 100 shares).
  • Worst case at expiry: -6.7%, if the shares fall below $13.00 (-1.7% from today).
  • Best case at expiry: +8.5%, if the shares rise above $15.00 (+13.4%); gains beyond that go to the call buyer.

Offered because the shares trade at or above our fair value of $5.50: a way to hold on with a floor under the price, paid for by giving up upside the model does not expect. Strikes near 25-delta; the put at its ask and the call at its bid. Protection has a cost over time: research on protective puts finds they have usually lowered returns.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
