Company Overview
Started as a family business, Latham (NASDAQ:SWIM) is a global designer and manufacturer of in-ground residential swimming pools and related products.
Sales Growth
A company's long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Unfortunately, Latham struggled to consistently increase demand as its $509.3 million of sales for the trailing 12 months was close to its revenue four years ago. This was below our standards and suggests it's a low quality business.
Latham Quarterly Revenue
Long-term growth is the most important, but within consumer discretionary, product cycles are short and revenue can be hit-driven due to rapidly changing trends and consumer preferences. Latham's recent performance shows its demand remained suppressed as its revenue has declined by 10.9% annually over the last two years.

Top Analyst Cuts Tesla to 'Hold' as Robotaxi Optimism Faces Scrutiny

June 10- Robert W. Baird analyst Ben Kallo downgraded Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to a "Hold" rating from "Buy". Kallo maintained his price target of $320 per share. This marks the analyst's first downgrade for the electric vehicle maker in three years. Kallo cited concerns over "heightened expectations" surrounding Tesla's upcoming robotaxi launch event. He also highlighted potential "key-man risk" related to CEO Elon Musk's activities and associations. The analyst noted TSLA stock has surged over 20% since first-quarter results, likely reflecting existing optimism about the robotaxi and a more affordable vehicle. The analyst expressed skepticism about the projected speed of the robotaxi service rollout, describing it as potentially "a bit too optimistic." Tesla was recently listed by Austin, Texas, authorities as being in the "testing" phase for autonomous vehicles. Competitor Waymo is listed in the "deployment" phase in the same city. Kallo's decision also factored in increased competition, potential changes to vehicle delivery timelines, and the gradual reduction of electric vehicle tax credits. Despite the downgrade, Tesla shares rose about 3% in pre-market trading on Tuesday. This movement coincided with the apparent easing of tensions between Musk and former President Donald Trump, who recently confirmed continued use of Tesla products.

Firms launch tools to help shippers measure tariff costs

As shifting tariffs continue to impact global supply chains, Flexport and C.H. Robinson have introduced tools aimed at helping businesses navigate duties impacting international shipments. Flexport, a San Francisco-based global logistics technology company, recently launched the Flexport Tariff Simulator, a tool designed to help businesses estimate landed costs and navigate tariffs in real time. Third party logistics provider C.H. Robinson (Nasdaq: CHRW) has added the U.S. Tariff Impact Analysis tool to its global shipper platform to help businesses assess their overall duty exposure, while providing precise cost analysis of each shipment. Mike Short, president of global forwarding at C.H. Robinson said the tool assesses trade complexities more effectively. 'With this tool a national retailer could identify high-volume stock keeping units coming from one point of origin, then quickly compare total duty spend along various alternative sources — then reroute future supply where needed,' Short said in a news release. Ryan Petersen, Flexport founder and CEO, said their customers have been asking for more clarity on the impact of import tariffs on shipments. 'Our engineering team built the Flexport tariff simulator in response to meet that need in the face of all the uncertainty caused by rapid policy changes,' Petersen said in a news release. 'We want to help merchants avoid expensive surprises.' Flexport's tariff simulator includes an interactive map that allows users to see trade data around the world, including the total value of imports from a given country, the current average duty rate, and the percentage of total U.S. imports coming from that country. The tool is available to the general public at Along with the tariff simulator, Flexport is also launching a searchable catalog of harmonized tariff schedule codes to navigate classification requirements, special duty rates and customs clearance processes. Flexport and C.H. Robinson are not the only firms launching tools to help shippers, logistics professionals and consumers assess the impact of import tariffs. In March, UPS (NYSE: UPS) created an automatic tariff calculator for online shoppers — UPS Global Checkout. The parcel carrier's landed cost calculator allows e-commerce merchants to integrate it into their online stores so customers see the import duties, taxes and fees upfront at checkout. E-commerce platform provider Shopify (Nasdaq: SHOP) launched a tariff calculator in May that helps determine duties and taxes on international shipments. Agtools, a provider of software solutions for the food industry, debuted a tool in February that enables users to calculate import levies across all commodities in real time and create scenarios that will impact supply, merchandising and pricing.
