Thor Industries stock (ISIN US8851601018) was last at USD 67.63 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, up USD 0.39 or 0.58 percent from the prior close. The latest company figures show why the RV manufacturer faces a difficult earnings reset: fiscal 2026 net income fell to USD 177.5 million from USD 258.6 million a year earlier.

Fiscal results expose margin pressure

According to Thor Industries on September 22, 2026, fiscal 2026 net sales reached USD 9.61 billion, up from USD 9.58 billion in fiscal 2025. The increase of 0.3 percent did not translate into comparable earnings growth, as diluted EPS declined to USD 3.38 from USD 4.84.

The fourth quarter ended July 31, 2026, delivered net sales of USD 2.31 billion and diluted EPS of USD 0.78. The company reported a gross margin of 12.4 percent for the quarter, down from 14.7 percent in the prior-year period, while North American Towable unit shipments fell 19.7 percent.

Europe offsets North American weakness

The regional split gives the results a more balanced shape. European RV sales increased 5.0 percent in the fourth quarter, while North American Towable sales declined 22.7 percent and North American Motorized sales fell 10.4 percent, according to the September 22 release linked above.

Thor also entered fiscal 2027 with a North American Towable order backlog of USD 916.6 million as of July 31, 2026, up 74.6 percent from USD 525.0 million a year earlier. The North American Motorized backlog moved in the opposite direction, falling 27.5 percent to USD 728.2 million, making mix and conversion of orders central to the recovery case.

Analysts see room above the share price

According to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026, 14 analysts assigned Thor Industries a Hold consensus, with three Buy ratings, ten Hold ratings and one Sell rating. The average price target was USD 84.89, which lies 25.5 percent above the October 6 price of USD 67.63.

MarketBeat also reported that Robert W. Baird cut its target from USD 90.00 to USD 80.00 on September 23, 2026, while Citigroup reduced its target from USD 79.00 to USD 76.00 on September 16, 2026. The contrast is clear: the consensus points to a higher valuation, but individual target reductions reflect pressure on demand, margins and near-term visibility.
