About DOO

BRP makes Can-Am off-road and three-wheel vehicles, Ski-Doo/Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft and related parts and engines. FY2026 continuing revenue was 56.9% Year-Round Products, 27.1% Seasonal Products and 16.0% PA&A, OEM Engines and Others.

  • Brand Trust

    Can-Am combines number-two global positions in ATV and recreational SSV with broad model lineups; current North American ORV gains support continued relevance, though the share evidence is management-estimated.

  • Distribution Control

    A large dealer and distributor footprint supports global reach and after-sales service, but the channel is independent, generally non-exclusive, and often shared with competitors, so it is a modest access advantage rather than true control.

  • Brand Trust

    Ski-Doo/Lynx and Sea-Doo brands are positioned as market leaders; management states leading global market-share positions in both snowmobiles and PWCs.

  • Installed Base Consumables

    Vehicle-specific parts and accessories monetize BRP's installed base and carry high margins, but the disclosed category combines PA&A with OEM engines and other products and BRP does not quantify repeat or captive revenue.

Change uses 2017 and 2026 only: compound annual growth for amounts, points for margins and returns, and the change in amount for net cash. A dash means no 2017 base. Trend shows the fiscal years.

TTM = four quarters to Jul 31, 2026. Per-share values use diluted weighted shares.ROIC = operating income × (1 − 19.9% tax rate, the company's own over three fiscal years excluding one-offs) ÷ (equity + debt − cash and current securities). Returns show a dash when their base is negative or under 10% of revenue. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capex. Debt is all borrowings; net cash counts long-term securities and excludes leases.

Why it holds

Can-Am combines number-two global positions in ATV and recreational SSV with broad model lineups; current North American ORV gains support continued relevance, though the share evidence is management-estimated.

Why widening

North American ORV gained share in Q2 FY2027 as total powersports retail units rose 1%; higher Year-Round shipments and lower promotions support Can-Am, but tariffs weaken profit conversion.

Indicators
  • North American powersports retail sales growth+1%
  • North American dealer inventories growth+2%
  • Year-Round Products revenueCA$1.5B
Risks
  • Promotional intensity and price competition
  • Low-cost entrants expanding in North America
  • Electrification transition execution risk

Profile change log

  1. Oct 6, 2026 · analyst revision

    The four claims now show dated trajectories: Can-Am brand strength is widening, seasonal brand strength is narrowing, and distribution and installed-base parts advantages are stable. Telwater has zero continuing-revenue weight and remains unscored because captive boat economics are not established.

Drivers & risks

Demand drivers
  • Higher disposable income and cheaper consumer loans can bring forward vehicle replacement; utility use helps some categories through recessions.
  • New model performance and useful features shift retail share among established brands.
  • US demand is particularly important; currency translation and Mexico/Canada/US production costs can move differently.
  • Efficient dealer service and retail financing reduce friction in buying and owning a vehicle.
Risks
  • Demand is highly discretionary and financing-sensitive; dealers can cut orders faster than consumer retail falls.
  • Low-cost manufacturers and multi-brand dealers weaken price premiums.
  • Metal tariffs, energy and freight costs, and financially weak suppliers can absorb benefits from higher volumes.
  • Safety recalls, emissions and noise rules, and restrictions on trail access can raise costs or narrow usage.

Bulls & bears

Key question · as of Oct 6, 2026

Can Can-Am market share and parts revenue turn into sustained cash profit after tariffs, supplier stress and weaker seasonal demand?

Arguments

3 forFaded: weakening or settled4 against

What to watch

  1. 1North American retail units versus dealer inventory units
  2. 2Year-Round and Seasonal category revenue and gross profit
  3. 3PA&A, OEM Engines and Others revenue and continuing operating profit

Next check: FY2027 Q3 results, tentatively December 3, 2026; compare seasonal retail with the industry and check supplier costs and tariff mitigation.
