Sieht interessant aus.

ja schon einen leichten rebound zu geben...immerhin

Dieser Kurs wird in den USA gemacht. Da können wir glauben, schreiben oder kaufen was wir wollen.

Bemerkenswert finde ich,dass diese Aktie von 2001 bis 2007 um satte 20.000% gestiegen ist,wer wäre da nicht gerne dabeigewesen ?! Beim durchchecken der Zahlen konnte ich kein Haar in der Suppe finden,Umsatz und Gewinnsteigerung sind völlig intakt.Zudem handelt es sich bei dieser Aktie offenbar um eine "Kultaktie" mit hohem weltweiten Imagewert,vergleichbar mit Apple inc.oder Harley Davidson.

chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/my/s/swhc" style="max-width:560px" />

Meiner Meinung nach kann man mindestens einen "Zock" wagen oder aber auch langfristig investieren!

Keine Empfehlung von einem BB, einer Bank, einem Bäcker , Förster oder sonst wem. Gut! Alles neutral!

das letzte mal über diese Aktie geschrieben. Vollkommen Ruhe um die Aktie. Also ich werde heute und morgen noch mal USA beobachten und am Montag event. erste Posi kaufen. Ich habe irgendwie das Gefühl das es mit der Ruhe bald vorbei sein könnte?!

Ja,du sagst es,der Chart erinnert auch irgendwie an den den von Elan Corp. vor 5 Jahren,das Teil ist damals von 60 auf 1 runter,dann auf 30 hoch,wieder auf 3 runter und steht heute bei 25 !Elan hatte aber massive finanzielle Probleme ,die ich bei S & W nicht erkennen kann,ganz im Gegenteil! Und wenn ich dann noch sehe wie die andere Knarrenkultaktie,nämlich "Taser" bewertet ist,deren KVG liegt bei 70,das von Smith bei aktuell 15,Forward P/E 09 aber bei 8.

Wenn ich könnte würde ich 100.000€ riskieren,aber erst mal haben vor Lachen,auch ich habe 2006 und 07 schwer gelitten ....

Wünsche Viel Erfolg!

Auch ich würde hier alles auf eine Karte setzen. Die geht wieder hoch. Wenn nicht jetzt dann in zwei Monaten.  

Theoretisch!? Dann "müßte" sie wieder hoch gehen? Da kenne ich Werte da ist das Risiko um Welten höher! Gibt es noch Meinungen von anderen dazu?

jetzt heißts, anlegen, abwarten und tee trinken!!

von wegen: kaufen, ein Schläfchen machen und in zehn Jahren mal nachsehen. Soll ja mal jemand gesagt haben!?

wie gesagt das kann hier super schnell gehn .....denkt an die wahlen in den usa..

... und habe auch den imho lächerlichen Grund (schwarz unterlegt) für den Kursverfall seit October 07 gefunden,aber lest selbst,ist von gestern:

Smith & Wesson Up After Analyst Says Revenue Will Grow and Profit Margins Will Expand

 

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of gun maker Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. rose Wednesday after an analyst started coverage with a "Positive" rating, saying the company's revenue will increase as it launches new products and books more orders from the military.

ADVERTISEMENT

While Smith & Wesson is famous for its revolvers, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Cheryl Cortez said the company's military and police weapons have helped it take a stronger position in the semi-automatic market. That market offers a lot of potential for the company, she said.

Product lines the company gained from its buyout of Thompson/Center Arms in January 2007, including hunting rifles, will also help improve sales.

"Smith & Wesson has recently launched its bolt-action rifles and has many other products in the pipeline," Cortez said. "New products are expected to gain popularity and wide market acceptance on the back of Smith & Wesson's strong brand name."

She added that profit margins should grow due to the expansion of Smith and Wesson's gun barrel manufacturing facility and the integration of Thomson/Center Arms.

The stock rose 32 cents, or 6.6 percent, to $5.15 Wednesday. Smith & Wesson shares have traded around annual lows over the last two months, and took a steep drop in October after the company cut its fiscal-year profit outlook. It cut its forecast again in December.

Cortez said she estimates the Springfield, Mass., company will earn 31 cents per share in the year ending April 30, compared to the company's estimate of 40 cents per share.

She expects a profit of 46 cents per share in fiscal 2009, while analysts polled by Thomson Financial forecast a profit of 61 cents per share that year

P.S.Ärgere mich allerdings schwarz und grün,dass ich mich mit einer Stückzahl unter 1000 fürs erste zuifrieden geben muss,habe dafür mein ganzes "Verliererdepot" auflösen müssen (Morgan Creek Energy,Adriana Resources)

Man sollte nicht den Fehler machen,und die derzeitige Solarblase als Kultaktien zu bezeichnen.Aber was sind Kultaktien ? Kultaktien sind aktien mit besonders hohem weltweiten Imagewert,einem unangefochtn erstklassigen Brand-Name,sowie hervorragenden fundamentals wie Umsatz und Gewinnsteiogerung von Jahr zu Jahr:Wers nicht glaubt schaue sich sich bitte den Langfristchart folgender 10 Kultaktien an:

1.Nokia
2.McDonalds
3.Apple inc
4.Porsche AG
5.Rolls-Royce Group
6.Hilton hotels
7.MGM Mirage
8.Harley Davidson
9.Phillip Morris
10.Smith & Wesson

Wer diese 10 aktien nur 10 jahre lang gehalten hat,ist in der Performance durch nichts zu schlagen gewesen,schon gar nicht durch Solarblase ,Rohstoffhype oder Internetboom!

Wie sagte Kostolany in seinem werbespot immer : "Denken sie einmal darüber nach ..."

The contract with the Colorado State Patrol represents the fourth state police department order that Smith & Wesson has received for the M&P pistols. Other full-conversion state police departments that have selected the M&P pistol for use in duty include the Iowa State Patrol, the New Mexico State Police and New Hampshire State Police. Currently, the New Mexico State Police issues four categories of Smith & Wesson products to its officers. Along with the newly acquired M&P357 pistols, the department also issues Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifles, Model 637 backup revolvers, and Smith & Wesson handcuffs. The New Hampshire State Police and Highway Patrol divisions currently issue the M&P45 pistols to their officers while the Iowa State Patrol selected the .40 S&W caliber polymer pistols.

Leland Nichols, President and Chief Operating Officer of Smith & Wesson Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, said, "We are extremely pleased with the continued success that the M&P pistol has achieved in police departments across the nation. Contracts from agencies such as the Colorado State Patrol allow other departments within the state the ability to access their testing and evaluation results, saving those smaller agencies both time and expense by streamlining their own selection process. Smith & Wesson will continue to support the professional law enforcement community with new product additions to the M&P line and we especially look forward to continuing our partnership with the Colorado State Patrol."

The M&P pistol features a Zytel® polymer frame reinforced with a rigid stainless steel chassis and a through-hardened black Melonite® finished stainless steel barrel and slide for durability; a passive trigger safety to prevent the pistol from firing if dropped; and a sear release lever that eliminates the need to press the trigger in order to disassemble the firearm. A loaded chamber indicator is located on top of the slide. The firearm also features an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, as well as an enlarged trigger guard designed to accommodate gloves. The M&P40 has a 15 + 1 capacity and the Smith & Wesson lifetime service policy is standard with each pistol. The M&P pistol series is available in 9mm, .40S&W, .357SIG, and .45ACP calibers. Compact versions of the M&P pistol are also available for concealed carry and back-up use.

Throughout the day, several media professionals gave positive critiques on the Smith & Wesson new product lineup. The company cited Patrick Sweeney, Handgun Editor for Guns & Ammo magazine, saying, "Out of all the new products introduced by Smith & Wesson this year, I'm really looking forward to testing the new Night Guard Series. The combination of features that these scandium revolvers offer, in particular the Extreme Duty fixed rear sight and XS front sight, make these handguns a nice fit for personal protection."

Produziert Smith & Wesson eigentlich immernoch "nur" Revolver? Heutzutage kaufen die Leute doch (wenn überhaupt bei den strengen Vorschriften) fast nur noch Pistolen.

Der Markt bei den Amis dürfte auch stark gesättigt sein - bei denen hat doch jeder schon 5 Schusswaffen und kaputt gehen die ja recht selten.

Smith & Wesson muss Gewinnrückgang ausweisen
09:00 08.09.11

Springfield (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die amerikanische Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (SMITH & WESSON HOLDING CO Aktie), ein Hersteller von Handfeuerwaffen, musste im ersten Quartal einen Gewinnrückgang ausweisen.

Wie der Konzern am Mittwochabend nach Börsenschluss verkündete, lag der Umsatz im Berichtszeitraum mit 99,2 Mio. US-Dollar um 4,5 Prozent über dem Vorjahreswert von 94,9 Mio. US-Dollar. Unter dem Strich wurde beim Nettoergebnis ein Rückgang auf 791.000 US-Dollar bzw. 1 Cent je Aktie ausgewiesen, nach einem Nettogewinn von 6,21 Mio. US-Dollar bzw. 10 Cents je Aktie im Vorjahreszeitraum. Vor Einmaleffekten hatte der bereinigte Gewinn je Aktie im Berichtszeitraum bei 5 Cents je Aktie gelegen. CEO Michael F. Golden bezeichnete die Nachfrage nach Feuerwaffen nach wie vor als stark, allerdings habe man unter Budgetkürzungen der Regierung zu leiden. Analysten hatten zuvor ein Break Even-Ergebnis je Aktie sowie einen Umsatz von 95,1 Mio. US-Dollar erwartet.

Für das laufende Quartal liegen die Analystenschätzungen bei einem EPS von 4 Cents sowie einem Umsatz von 107,3 Mio. US-Dollar.

Für das laufende Fiskaljahr erwartet Smith & Wesson einen Umsatz von 410,0 bis 425,0 Mio. US-Dollar. Für das laufende Fiskaljahr gehen Analysten von einem EPS von 18 Cents bei Umsatzerlösen von 427,2 Mio. US-Dollar aus.

Die Aktie von Smith & Wesson notierte zuletzt bei 3,06 US-Dollar. (08.09.2011/ac/n/a)
