THE MOVERS
Brunswick Corp.: $36.98, down $5.52 (13 percent): Shares of the maker of recreational boats, bowling and fitness equipment slid Tuesday after it tempered its full-year profit forecast. In making the revision, the Lake Forest, Ill.-based company cited concerns that wholesale marine sales could drop amid higher fuel prices, flagging consumer confidence and the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Brunswick said Tuesday that while retail demand for its marine
products has remained robust, it plans to trim production as it heads into the marine offseason, a time when it looks to
wholesalers’ orders to drive demand. Bruns wick said it expects earnings for the year of $3.20 to $3.25 per share, rather than the $3.30 to $3.40 it previously forecast.
