Revenue by segment (latest quarter)
Home+Comm$0.8B
Learning&Dev$0.6B
Outdoor&Rec$0.2B

Bull case

  • North America Fill Rate: North America fill rate is 94.0 percent, suggesting solid logistics execution and product availability.
  • In-Transit Inventory Below Prior Year Level: In-transit inventory is below the prior year level by 0.28 USD_B, which can reduce inventory-related pressure on cash.
