Brunswick Corporation remains rated as a 'Hold' due to ongoing economic concerns despite a 12.8% revenue increase in Q1 2026, driven by strong growth in its Propulsion segment and market share gains.

Macroeconomic headwinds limit optimism despite operational improvements and ongoing capital returns.
