RGR: SC 14D9 · acquisition merger
Ruger filed its Schedule 14D-9 responding to Beretta Holding's partial tender offer for up to 2,400,184 shares (about 15.02% of shares outstanding) at $44.80 per share in cash, which would raise Beretta's stake from roughly 9.9% to about 25%. The offer expires one minute after 11:59 p.m. NY time on October 15, 2026 and has no financing or minimum-tender condition.
The Board unanimously determined to express no opinion and remain neutral on the offer, per its May 2, 2026 Cooperation Agreement with Beretta, though it approved the offer for purposes of DGCL Section 203. It noted the price represents a 20.8% premium to the September 16, 2026 close and a 28.3% premium to the August 22, 2025 close, but cautioned that oversubscription would trigger proration and that Beretta will be permitted to reach the 25% level regardless of tender volume.
The 14D-9 also discloses an FTC consent agreement restricting Beretta's board influence, the termination of Ruger's rights plan on September 16, 2026, and that no directors or executive officers intend to tender their shares.

RGR: 10-Q · periodic report
Sturm, Ruger & Company reported net sales of $299.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2026, an 11.6% increase from the prior year period. The company swung to a net income of $7.1 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million, or $0.57 per share, in the same period last year. This turnaround was driven by a 7.5% expansion in gross margin to 20.6%, attributable to increased sales volume, higher average selling prices, and the absence of prior-year inventory write-offs.
New product sales were a primary growth driver, totaling $80.9 million and representing 28.9% of firearm sales for the first half of 2026. Key products included the RXM pistol, Marlin lever-action rifles, and the Super Wrangler revolver. The company generated $36.1 million in cash from operations and maintained a strong balance sheet with $117.5 million in total cash and short-term investments.
Strategically, the company resolved a potential proxy contest by entering into an agreement with Beretta Holding S.A., though it incurred $4.4 million in related legal fees during the quarter. Additionally, the Board of Directors authorized a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on August 28, 2026, and appointed Andrew T. Wieland as the new Chief Financial Officer in April.
