Polen U.S. Small Company Growth Strategy made the following comment about Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FOXF) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:

“Lastly, Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FOXF), a maker of high-performance shocks and suspensions for bikes and power vehicles, was a top detractor in the period. The stock fell on the back of results that featured a 30% YoY decline in their specialty sports segment as the company returns to more normal seasonality in that business after heightened pandemic-related demand and supply shortages. The company offset this weakness with robust results in its powered vehicles segment, but the market was fixated on the worse-than-expected results in the specialty sports segment. We think the worst is behind the company with this well-telegraphed reset and see a path to margin improvement in the future.”
