Firearms maker, Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: SWHC) after the market close on Thursday said that fiscal first quarter net income rose 49%, driven by robust demand for guns. Besides, earnings and revenue also beat Street’s consensus estimate. However, analysts are concerned about the future sales trend. Analysts fear that the unusual demand seen in last few quarters will stabilize now. A series of mass-shooting incidents last year raised speculation that lawmakers might make gun control laws stiffer. Still, the Company is confident that sales will continue to show strong growth. Smith & Wesson lifted its full-year sales outlook on Thursday.
