Toro Company (TTC)

Over the past six months, Toro's stock experienced several events. In March 2025, the stock hit a four-year low. Toro reported mixed fiscal first-quarter 2025 results in March, with EPS exceeding expectations but revenue missing targets. In June 2025, Q2 sales fell, leading to revised full-year guidance. September 2025 saw a decrease in total consolidated net sales, with the professional segment up and the residential segment facing challenges. In October 2025, Toro announced an agreement to acquire Tornado Infrastructure Equipment Ltd. and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend. In November 2025, the company announced the release date for its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter and full-year results, and elevated put-option activity was observed.

Demand for The Toro Company's products and services exhibits seasonality, influenced by weather patterns, particularly for lawn care and snow and ice management products. Slow snow removal equipment sales have been noted due to warmer than normal winters. The company anticipates better positioning of dealer field inventories for lawn care and snow and ice management businesses. The golf business, however, has shown strong demand.
