#10 - American Outdoor Brands Corp (NASDAQ:SWBI)
American Outdoor Brands Corp (NASDAQ: AOBC) - AOBC is the parent company of another American brand, Smith & Wesson. In fact, until 2016 the company was named Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation. While a handgun stock may be a non-starter for many investors, the stock is worth mentioning. The stock is currently trading near it's 52-week low and is down over 28 percent in 2019. However, analysts are continuing to give the stock a hold rating and have a consensus price target that would bring it right into the middle of its 52-week range at around $13 per share. The question surrounding the stock as we move towards the end of the year is have we seen the bottom for a struggling industry? There are arguments to be made each way and, so far aggressive bundling and promotions have allowed the company to meet expectations, albeit with a bar that is set low. AOBC will be one of the stocks to watch the most as the 2020 elections approach.
