Fear of Obama drives gun stocks higher

Rising concern over increased regulation from the Obama White House has gun buffs stocking up on the latest tactical rifles and pistols. This helps the fortunes of gun makers Smith & Wesson (SWHC) and Ruger (RGR) as well as specialty retailer Cabela’s (CAB), which specializes in firearms and hunting gear.

Ruger reported Tuesday that gun sales increased 81% in the fourth quarter on new products and “robust firearms demand.” Its order backlog now stands at $48 million. Smith & Wesson plans to double revenue within the next three years and reported increased sales from “speculation on the outcome of the presidential election.” Cabela’s reported that same-store sales rose 2.2% over the holiday election season — a time of great distress for other retailers.

With that kind of performance, it’s not surprising investors are flocking to these names. Over the last week, while the S&P 500 is down 2%, Smith & Wesson is up 56%, Cabela’s has gained 35%, and Rugers added 44%…………

Seems like I always hear about a spike in gun sales after a new administration takes power. I think part of it is fear of the unknown– ‘these new guys might want to take away our guns’ etc.

Another product that is thriving in these times is Spam.
