Shares of LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII), a leading supplier of recreational vehicle components, plummeted by 8.01% on Tuesday after the company reported mixed third-quarter results. While LCI's earnings per share of $1.39 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.37, its revenue of $915.5 million missed expectations of $922.81 million and declined by 4.57% compared to the same period last year.
The company's earnings beat was driven by cost-cutting measures and operational efficiencies, but investors remained concerned about the revenue miss and year-over-year decline. LCI's revenue shortfall could be attributed to a slowdown in the recreational vehicle industry, which has been impacted by rising interest rates and inflationary pressures.
Despite the earnings beat, the revenue miss and overall weakness in the RV sector seem to have overshadowed LCI's profitability, leading to a significant sell-off in the stock. Analysts will likely scrutinize the company's guidance and management's commentary on the earnings call for insights into the future outlook and potential turnaround strategies.
