# Thor Industries Shares Fall Sharply as Motorhome Producer Discloses Deficit and Diminishes Forecast
### Principal Points
* Thor Industries attributes its weaker-than-anticipated outcomes and reduced projections to consistent macroeconomic difficulties.
* The motorhome producer revealed a deficit for its financial year 2025 second quarter, whereas experts had previously anticipated a profit.
* Decline in sales of motorized motorhomes in North America and motorhomes in Europe.
Shares of leisure vehicle (RV) producer Thor Industries (THO) plunged 15% as the firm reported an unexpected deficit and curtailed its projections, mentioning sustained weakening customer interest.
The Airstream trailer manufacturer reported a deficit of $0.01 per share for its financial year 2025 second quarter, compared to experts’ forecasts of a $0.05 profit per share, according to a Visible Alpha consensus. Income decreased nearly 9% year-over-year to $2.02 billion, even though this number still surpassed estimates.
The firm stated that it is confronting consistent macroeconomic difficulties, with CEO Bob Martin portraying it as a demanding economic setting.
In North America, sales of motorized motorhomes plummeted 22% to $446.3 million, which Thor credited to softer dealer and customer interest, as well as the consequence of interest diverting away from higher-priced vehicles and heightened discounting. In Europe, motorhome sales decreased 22% to $612.5 million, with unit sales down 28%. A positive aspect for Thor was North American towable motorhome sales, which increased 13% to $828.3 million, with unit sales up 28%.
## Thor Diminishes EPS Outlook on Margin Strain
Chief Operating Officer Todd Woelfer stated that the firm is reducing its full-year guidance due to higher-than-anticipated margin strain. Thor now foresees earnings per share (EPS) of $3.30 to $4.00, down from its prior forecast of $4.00 to $5.00. Income is anticipated to be between $9 billion and $9.5 billion, compared to the prior outlook of $9 billion to $9.8 billion.
Over the past year, Thor Industries’ stock value has dropped by over 35%.
