American Outdoor Brands: A Cautious Investment Amidst Soft Q2 Earnings and Declining ROIC

American Outdoor Brands (AOUT) has seen a 42.6% loss in shareholder capital over the past six months due to softer quarterly results. The company's long-term revenue growth has been weak at 2.6% compounded annual growth rate, EPS has dropped 225% over the last four years, and new investments have failed to bear fruit as return on invested capital (ROIC) has declined. As a result, the stock is not recommended for investment.
