Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding THOR Industries, Inc. (NYSE:THO) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

“THOR Industries, Inc. (NYSE:THO) (down 20.0%) released third quarter results that were in line with expectations, but management downgraded its guidance (for the second time). The same reasoning was given – poor consumer demand is expected to continue longer than previously envisaged. Our “through the cycle” estimates are unchanged. Based on the revised guidance, Thor trades at around 20 times earnings, however its earnings were five times higher in the peak years coming out of the pandemic. Our “maintainable earnings” estimates split these two extremes. With Thor trading at around 10 times that level, we do not see it as expensive. We have maintained our position, which is now 2.4% of the Fund.”
