THESIS
BRP is the powersports leader — Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Can-Am — riding a dealer-restock-driven shipment surge while underlying retail demand is still falling and tariffs squeeze the full-year outlook.
Bull lever: If dealer inventories are now right-sized and retail stabilises, FY28 earnings normalise well above the cut FY27 guide and the multiple re-rates.
Key risk: Tariffs persist and retail demand keeps sliding, turning the Q1 shipment snap-back into a one-quarter wonder and forcing a second guide cut.
