In the following video, Motley Fool consumer goods analyst Blake Bos tells investors that, while Sturm, Ruger & Co. (RGR +1.71%) did beat estimates, it's a lot more important for understanding the company in the long-term to take a look at the internal metrics. He talks about the company's ability to expand its sales and revenue, and grow its margins, and return a lot of that excess cash to shareholders through dividends rather than share repurchases. He also tells us that the company still struggles with supply shortages. He then takes a look to the future and informs us that this insane demand will eventually taper off, and what investors should do when it does.
How long will the explosive demand for firearms keep up?
