Acushnet Holdings Corp
Acushnet Holdings makes golf equipment and golf gear under brands like Titleist, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron, and Vokey. Its core products are golf balls, clubs, wedges, putters, shoes, gloves, and other golf apparel. The company serves golfers of all levels, along with golf shops, sporting goods retailers, club fitters, and distributors that sell its products to end customers. The company makes money by selling these products through wholesale channels and, in some cases, directly to consumers. Golf balls are especially important because they are bought and replaced often, which gives Acushnet a steady stream of repeat demand. Its brands also have strong recognition in the golf market, which helps it sell premium products at higher price points than many mass-market competitors. Acushnet’s role in the industry is to supply the equipment and apparel that golfers use on the course, with a focus on performance and fit rather than broad general sporting goods. It stands out because it combines a large ball business with a strong lineup of high-end clubs and golf wear, creating a business tied closely to the habits and loyalty of serious golfers.

Strong start: Acushnet said Q1 was a positive start to 2026, with net sales of $753 million up 5% constant currency and adjusted EBITDA of $145 million, up $6 million year over year.
Titleist strength: Titleist Golf Equipment sales rose 7% and Golf Gear sales rose 8%, driven by new product launches, strong ball and club demand, and solid regional growth.
Tariff pressure: Gross margin fell 70 basis points to 47.2% as tariff costs increased $17 million year over year, and management said tariffs remain a meaningful headwind even though the overall rate environment could be more favorable than previously expected.
Guidance kept: Full-year 2026 guidance was unchanged at $2,625 million to $2,675 million of net sales and $415 million to $435 million of adjusted EBITDA, though first-half expectations moved toward the high end of the prior range.
GTS launch: The company is pulling its next Titleist GTS driver and fairway metals launch into Q2, which management said should help 2026 results and give the product a longer selling window than usual.
Demand healthy: Management said golf participation and rounds remain healthy across key markets, with U.S. rounds up 5% through March and global rounds still trending positively despite macro uncertainty.
