Sturm, Ruger Reports Strong Q2 Earnings Amid Production Gains
Sturm, Ruger & Company (NYSE: RGR) reported a significant increase in second-quarter sales and adjusted earnings. Net sales rose by 19% year-over-year to $158 million, with diluted earnings per share reaching $0.43 compared to a loss of $1.05 the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 10.5%, driven by improved product mix and manufacturing efficiency.
