About Malibu Boats
Malibu Boats is a designer and manufacturer of power boats in the United States. It is a market leader in performance sport boats, sold under its Malibu and Axis brands. It acquired Cobalt Boats, a producer of sterndrive boats, in 2017, and Pursuit Boats, which makes high-end offshore and outboard motorboats, in 2018. In 2021, it purchased Maverick Boat Group, a seller of flat fishing boats, with exposure to bay, dual console, and center console boats. Most recently, in 2026, it tied up with Saxdor Yachts, focused on adventure dayboats. Malibu has also expanded into boat trailers and accessories, and in 2020, began producing its own engines for its performance sport boats.

Analyst projections of the future price of Malibu Boats stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Saxdor adds a growth engine beyond Malibu’s traditional towboats: it contributed $51.1 million of September-quarter sales, and US production is now under way. Management expects Saxdor to grow at a mid-teens rate and its margins to improve as production scales and the mix shifts towards larger boats. (The Motley Fool, Saxdor Yachts)
Growth is coming from more than the new acquisition: Cobalt and Saltwater Fishing both increased unit volumes in the latest quarter, helping offset weaker demand for Malibu-branded boats. That broader brand mix gives the company more than one source of demand. (GlobeNewswire)
Malibu says 80% to 90% of its cost base is variable, mainly materials and direct labour, which should let it adjust spending as demand changes. It is also extending central sourcing and cost-control efforts across Saxdor, offering potential to protect profitability through the downturn. (The Motley Fool)
The market remains soft, especially for ski and wake boats: Malibu-branded sales fell 9.1% in the September quarter as unit shipments declined, while dealer incentives rose. Management said it is keeping shipments aligned with retail demand and expects market conditions to remain weak through the first half of the transition period. (GlobeNewswire, The Motley Fool)
The latest quarter fell short of the company’s guided sales range and adjusted EBITDA was at the low end of its outlook; adjusted earnings per share was unchanged year on year at $0.15. The next-quarter outlook implies continued modest earnings and sales, leaving results exposed if demand or margins weaken further. (GlobeNewswire)
Cash used in operations was $31.1 million in the September quarter, versus cash generated a year earlier, as inventory rose by $31.8 million during a rebuild. Although the company expects working-capital needs to ease seasonally, the inventory investment ties up cash while retail demand is subdued. (GlobeNewswire)
