2 Boatmaker Stocks That Are Set For A Lift-Off: Big Surge In Growth Metrics

Two boat designers and manufacturers are turning heads in Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings, with big spikes in their Growth scores.

Two Boatmakers That Are Now ‘Growth’ Stocks

In Benzinga’s Edge rankings, scores are assigned to stocks based on Value, Momentum, Growth and Quality. The Growth metric is calculated primarily using the pace at which revenue and earnings have grown, with equal importance given to both long-term trends as well as the immediate performance.

The sector is largely immune to the tariffs, rising interest rates and cost pressures resulting from the same, given the demand inelasticity of its primary clientele.
