Golf Giants Shine Bright in a Shaky Market!
In the world of golf, two big names have just shared their financial results for the third quarter of 2025, and it looks like they are doing pretty well, despite the challenges hanging over the golf equipment market. Acushnet Holdings Corp., the folks behind Titleist and FootJoy, and Topgolf Callaway Brands, known for Callaway Golf and Odyssey, are showing resilience even when the going gets tough.
Topgolf Callaway’s Steady Steps
First up, let’s talk about Topgolf Callaway. This company reported golf equipment sales hitting $1.161 billion in the first nine months of 2025, which is just a tiny boost of 0.3% compared to the same time last year. While their sales did dip by 8% in Q3 compared to the previous year, when you take out the effects of selling off one of their brands, Jack Wolfskin, they actually enjoyed a 3% increase!
What’s more, their equipment segment operating income got a nice little bump of 7.9%, bringing it up to $201 million. Now that’s something to smile about! But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for them. They did report a net loss of $14.7 million for Q3, which they attributed largely to tariffs – something that’s been affecting businesses across the board.
Acushnet’s Stellar Performance
Switching gears to Acushnet, this company has been hitting impressive sales figures too. They revealed that their year-to-date sales for Titleist equipment reached a whopping $1.303 billion, which stands tall at a 4.9% increase. Golf balls alone brought in $677.9 million, while golf clubs contributed $624.6 million. My goodness, those numbers are enough to get any golf enthusiast excited!
Acushnet also reported an adjusted EBITDA of $400.6 million, marking an increase of 2.2%. However, not everything in Acushnet land was perfect as they saw their quarterly net profit take a dip of 14%, landing at $48.5 million. This was largely due to increased tax expenses that have been weighing them down.
FootJoy Makes a Comeback
On a brighter note, their FootJoy brand is finally seeing some love! After two long years, FootJoy recorded its first quarterly sales increase, ringing in at $136.5 million, which translates to an encouraging 4% year-over-year growth. People must be itching to hit the greens in style!
Looking Ahead
Both companies are staying positive and have decided to bump up their revenue projections for 2025. Acushnet is now expecting to rake in between $2.52 billion to $2.54 billion, while Topgolf Callaway is eyeing between $3.9 billion to $3.94 billion. These forecasts show that they’re not letting current market pressures knock them down.
Stock Market Reactions
As a result of their reports, Acushnet’s stock saw a nice little rise of 3.2%, and Topgolf Callaway’s stock surged by 4.6%. Seems like investors are feeling optimistic despite the hurdles!
Conclusion
The golf equipment market may have its ups and downs, but these two companies are proving they’re up for the challenge. With steady sales and innovative strategies to adapt to market conditions, they are showing that while times may be tough, they are definitely tougher. Here’s hoping more good news comes as we swing into the next quarter!
