Latest Acushnet Holdings Corp. Stock News

As of September 02, 2026, Acushnet Holdings Corp. had a $5.1 billion market capitalization, putting it in the 67th percentile of companies in the Leisure Products industry.

Currently, Acushnet Holdings Corp.’s price-earnings ratio is 23.7. Acushnet Holdings Corp.’s trailing 12-month revenue is $2.7 billion with a 8.1% profit margin. Year-over-year quarterly sales growth most recently was 13.8%. Analysts expect adjusted earnings to reach $4.390 per share for the current fiscal year. Acushnet Holdings Corp. currently has a 1.2% dividend yield.

"The Covid-19 pandemic precipitated a major disruption in global travel-related spending -- both for leisure and business -- which has taken a major toll across the industry. However, there are several constituents are relatively well positioned to reap some pent-up demand with an expected rebound in travel spending on the imminent widespread availability of vaccines by the second half of 2021. Amid a wave of cancellations and sharp drops in occupancy, the underlying trends have resulted in very sharp declines in revenue per available room (RevPAR) in recent months, based on data from Smith Travel Research. However, we see further sequential monthly improvement in 2021, with an expected rebound in the pace of global expansion (net rooms growth). Historically, growth in hotel demand had provided some cushion for moderate supply growth, as the

major chains maintained a strong development pipeline in the U.S. and international markets. However, as more guests opt for longer-term stays amid the lockdown, the growing popularity of alternative accommodation listings (e.g., Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.) within the ‘sharing economy’ could portend some disruption and/or increased competition for hotel companies in the years ahead. Airbnb’s recent IPO (in December 2020) could lend further impetus to this trend. One notable M&A deal in recent years was the $13.6 billion acquisition of Starwood Hotels &

Resorts by Marriott in 2016 to create the world’s largest hotel company. Meanwhile, the major chains have pursued an asset recycling strategy, increasingly shifting toward fee based (franchising) models, executing targeted divestitures and/or spin-offs, and deploying such proceeds toward share buybacks and dividends. For example, Hilton and Wyndham

had spun off their timeshare businesses in recent years, which subsequently led to further consolidation."

Acushnet Holdings Corp. Stock Quality Grade

Quality Grade:

Metric Score GOLF Sector Median
Return on Assets (ROA) 84 8.8% 2.8%
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) 73 28.9% 18.5%
Gross Income to Assets 89 49.9% 30.3%
Buyback Yield 72 0.7% (0.3%)
Change in Total Liabilities to Assets 48 2.6% 1.9%
Accruals to Assets 32 (2.0%) (5.9%)
Z Double Prime Bankruptcy Risk (Z) Score 70 7.03 5.54
F-Score 67 6 5

Like the Value Grade, AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the percentile rank of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score.

The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the underlying “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk. Backtesting of the Quality Grade shows that stocks with higher grades, on average, outperformed stocks with lower grades over the period of 1998 through 2019.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality subcomponents and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the subcomponents.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. has a Quality Score of 86, which is Very Strong.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. Stock Momentum Grade

Momentum Grade:

Metric Score GOLF Sector Median
Relative Price Strength (Q1) 43 (3.4%) (4.2%)
Relative Price Strength (Q2) 32 (17.7%) (12.5%)
Relative Price Strength (Q3) 76 16.8% (5.2%)
Relative Price Strength (Q4) 75 5.7% (10.8%)
Relative Price Strength (weighted 4 qtr) 50 (0.4%) (5.2%)

Momentum grades help uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming. Momentum is based on the price change of a stock over a specified period relative to all other stocks.

Typically, AAII looks at the weighted relative strength over the trailing four quarters. The weighted four-quarter relative strength rank is the relative price change for each of the past four quarters. The most recent quarterly price change is given a weight of 40% and each of the three previous quarters are given a weighting of 20%.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. has a Momentum Score of 50, which is Average.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. Stock Earnings Estimate Revisions Grade

Estimate Revisions Grade:

Metric Score GOLF Sector Median
Quarterly Surprise SUE Latest Qtr 98 24.0 1.4
Quarterly Surprise SUE Prior Qtr 15 (1.2) 1.2
EPS Est Current Year % Rev Last Month 87 10.8% 0.0%
EPS Est Current Year % Rev 3 Mos 82 10.8% 0.6%

The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score considers the magnitude of a company’s earnings surprise in its last two reported fiscal quarters. Often, positive surprises beget further positive surprises‐or at least continued sales growth (the exact opposite is generally true, too).

Estimate revisions offer an indication of what analysts are thinking about the short-term prospects of a firm. The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score is based on the statistical significance of a firm’s last two quarterly earnings surprises and the percentage change in its consensus estimate for the current fiscal year over the past month and past three months.

Acushnet Holdings Corp. has an Earnings Estimate Revisions Score of 71, which is Positive.

Growth investing builds on the idea that stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth outperform those of slower—growth companies. AAII measures several dimensions of growth in its Growth Grade, including year—over—year increases in sales and earnings, long(er)—term historical sales and earnings growth rates and analyst‐forecasted long—term earnings growth.

Successful stock investing involves buying low and selling high, so stock valuation is an important consideration for stock selection. Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.
