Brunswick Corp. posted third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $1.4539 billion, up 6.9% year over year, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.58, while GAAP diluted EPS was $1.01. The company raised its full‑year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to about $4.65 and kept its revenue forecast between $5.7 billion and $5.8 billion. All reporting segments recorded sales growth for the fifth consecutive quarter.

The higher EPS guidance signals stronger profitability, which could support a re‑rating of the stock by analysts (as noted in the company press release). The guidance also sets expectations for free cash flow of at least $400 million for the year, affecting cash‑flow‑based valuation models.
