Debates around the economy’s health and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts have caused much uncertainty in 2025. While some of the automotive and marine retail stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 4.5% on average over the last month. OneWater is up 2.7% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $17.50 (compared to the current share price of $15.08).
