Shares of BRP Inc. (DOOO) are surging 5.13% in pre-market trading on Friday, following a series of analyst upgrades that have boosted investor confidence in the leisure vehicle manufacturer. The stock's sharp rise comes as several prominent financial firms have revised their outlook on BRP, citing improving inventory conditions and growth potential.
Stifel Nicolaus, Desjardins, and TD Cowen have all upgraded BRP to a "Buy" rating, with analysts raising their price targets. Stifel analyst Martin Landry upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy, setting a new price target of C$68, up from C$45. Desjardins analyst Benoit Poirier raised the price target to C$78 from C$77, stating that the "worst is over" for the company. TD Cowen also joined the bullish sentiment, upgrading BRP from Hold to Buy.
The positive outlook stems from BRP's improving inventory situation, which analysts believe will pave the way for revenue growth and margin expansion. TD Cowen's Brian Morrison noted that the easing of inventory headwinds could support market-share gains and boost margins through lower promotional intensity and improved product mix. While near-term consumer demand remains uncertain, analysts see visibility to trough earnings and believe the stock no longer warrants a trough multiple, setting the stage for potential upside in BRP's share price.
