MasterCraft Boat stock plunges after profit outlook comes in at less than half of forecasts
Shares of MasterCraft Boat Holdings Inc.

The company expects sales of between $390 million and $420 million, compared with the FactSet consensus of $573.1 million. Meanwhile, the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter net income that more than doubled to $22.7 million, or $1.30 a share, from $11.5 million, or 63 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Excluding nonrecurring items, adjusted EPS of $1.37 beat the FactSet consensus of $1.07. Sales fell 15.5% to $166.6 million but was above expectations of $162.1 million. The stock has lost 3.5% year to date through Tuesday, while the S&P 500 has gained 17.1%.
