BRP Inc.’s ( NASDAQ: DOOO ) shares rose sharply on Wednesday as the jet-ski manufacturer saw strong sales in Q2 and raised its full-year profit forecast.
The Quebec-based Sea-Doo manufacturer notched C$2.94, a 20% increase from 2021. Meanwhile, adjusted EPS jumped 28.4% year over year to C$2.44B. The positive figures came despite a cyberattack in August that raised concerns on operations.

Moving forward, he told investors to expect continued strong demand and a normalizing supply chain to promote continued strong performance. Indeed, management raised full-year forecasts as a result of the bullish expectations on both supply and demand dynamics.
"We are in a favorable position to deliver an expected record second half of the year,” Boisjoli said. “Taking these factors into account and a stronger than expected second quarter, we are increasing our full-year guidance with an expected Normalized EPS of C$11.30 to C$11.65.”
The company had previously forecast an EPS range of C$11 to C$11.35. Analysts had expected .22 in earnings per share for the full year.
