The main question: the share price moved +6.4% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −115.3%.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Sturm, Ruger pay? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. paid $0.41 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.21 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $45.12 that is a yield of 0.91%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Sturm, Ruger on? Sturm, Ruger is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Sturm, Ruger profitable? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. earned $7.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $4.4 M. That is 4.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $17.2 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$4.4 M (−114.4% on the year before). On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −77.2% and revenue +7.7%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Sturm, Ruger make, and is it growing? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. reported $158 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +19.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −7.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $546 M. The last four reported quarters add to $577 M. FY25 revenue was $546 M, +1.9% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.7% on average, against −7.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +7.6%, against +5.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +111.5%, against −39.3% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Sturm, Ruger keep? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.'s operating margin was 5.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 18.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −2.1% and 27.8%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +18.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +17.4 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Sturm, Ruger's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 100% of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $54.3 M of operating cash against −$4.4 M of profit. After $15.8 M of spending on assets, $38.5 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Sturm, Ruger's cash go? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $52.5 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.2% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $52.5 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Sturm, Ruger's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.'s P/E is 59.8×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 27% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 179.7×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −115.3% while the price moved +6.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Sturm, Ruger business getting better or worse? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 3.9%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Sturm, Ruger earn on its capital? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. earned a ROE of −2% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.7 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −0.8% net margin and 1.60× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −0.8% net margin × 1.60× asset turnover × 1.21× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −1.5% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.7% − 5.4% = −0.7 percentage points. The 5.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 4.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at −5.5%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Sturm, Ruger have too much debt? Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has total debt of $1.5 M against shareholder equity of $290 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.01× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.00 in FY21 to 0.01 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Sturm, Ruger shareholding pattern? 15.9% of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Sturm, Ruger from balance-sheet trouble? For Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., the Z-score is 8.74. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 8.74 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Sturm, Ruger rank in its industry?
