Bottomâline view â will the results beat consensus?
Because Malibu Boats (MBUU) has only announced the timing of its Q4âŻFY2025 and fullâyear release, no actual earnings numbers are available yet. However, the âsentimentâ score attached to the filing is 10âŻ(very positive), which is unusually high for a routine earningsârelease notice. In the past 12âmonth window analysts have been forecasting FY2025 revenue of roughlyâŻ$1.1âŻbillion with an EPS ofâŻ$0.71, while Q4â2025 revenue is projected at aboutâŻ$260âŻmillion and EPS atâŻ$0.18. The bullish sentiment, combined with Malibuâs recent âtightâboatâsalesâ cycle and the fact that the company has been beating its own guidance in the last two quarters, suggests the market expects a beatâorâmeet outcome rather than a miss.
Trading implications
If the company posts results *ahead of consensus** (e.g., Q4 revenue >âŻ$260âŻM, EPS >âŻ$0.18, FY2025 EPS >âŻ$0.71), the stock is likely to rally on the day of the release. Look for the breakout above the Augustâ2025 highâvolume resistance around $12.30 on the daily chart; a move into the $12.50â$13.00 range would signal the upside is intact.
If the results *fall short** of expectations, the price could test the recent swingâlow support near $11.40 and may open a shortâbias, especially if the miss is accompanied by a downwardâguidance revision.
Actionable takeâaway â Until the AugustâŻ28 release, keep a tight, directional bias: stay on the sidelines or position a small, riskâmanaged straddle (longâcall near $12.30 and longâput near $11.40) to capture the volatility spike. A clear beat will push the stock higher; a miss will likely trigger a shortâterm pullâback. Adjust exposure as the actual numbers materialize.
