BRP beats Q1 estimates but cuts outlook on tariff headwinds
BRP Inc. reported Q1 fiscal 2027 results that exceeded expectations, while cutting its full-year outlook on U.S. Section 232 tariff costs.
The Valcourt, Quebec-based powersports manufacturer posted quarterly results that surpassed management's internal forecasts for the period ended April 30, the company said Wednesday. BRP did not disclose specific revenue or earnings per share figures in its preliminary release.
BRP reduced its full-year fiscal 2027 earnings guidance, incorporating a sizable cost headwind from changes to U.S. Section 232 duties on aluminum and steel. The tariffs, which apply to imported metals used in BRP's manufacturing process, are expected to compress margins across the company's product lines, including Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft and Can-Am off-road vehicles.
Shares rose as much as 9 percent in trading following the announcement, as the quarterly beat tempered investor concern over the tariff impact. The stock had declined roughly 15 percent year-to-date before the earnings release, pressured by trade policy uncertainty.
The guidance cut signals that BRP expects tariff costs to persist through the remainder of the fiscal year. The company's next catalyst will be its full Q1 earnings filing, which is expected to include detailed segment revenue, margin breakdown and updated quarterly guidance.
