A Look At Callaway Golf (CALY) Valuation After Earnings Miss And Cautious 2026 Outlook

Callaway Golf (CALY) is under pressure after fourth quarter revenue missed analyst expectations, and management issued 2026 guidance that points to lower sales and profitability than the market was looking for.

See our latest analysis for Callaway Golf.

The disappointing quarter and softer 2026 guidance have reversed much of Callaway Golf's recent momentum, with a 1 day share price return of a 15.05% decline to US$12.59 and a 7 day share price return of a 14.06% decline, even though the 90 day share price return of a 34.51% gain and 1 year total shareholder return of a 68.54% gain still point to a strong rebound off longer term total shareholder return declines over 3 and 5 years.

If this earnings setback has you reassessing where growth and income might come from next, it could be a good moment to look at 21 elite gold producer stocks as potential alternatives in the broader leisure and commodities space.

With the shares now back at US$12.59 and trading at a discount to some analyst targets and intrinsic estimates, you have to ask: is Callaway Golf being undervalued after this reset, or is the market already pricing in its future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 1% Overvalued

At $12.59, Callaway Golf sits just above its most widely followed fair value estimate of $12.50, which is built off detailed long term forecasts.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $10.5 for Topgolf Callaway Brands based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $13.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $9.0.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what sits behind that tight fair value band? The narrative leans on specific assumptions for revenue trends, margin rebuild, and the earnings multiple the market might be willing to pay.

Result: Fair Value of $12.50 (ABOUT RIGHT)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, you still need to weigh risks such as pressure from discounting at Topgolf and higher tariffs, which could squeeze margins and challenge those fair value assumptions.

Another Take: DCF Sees Meaningful Upside

The earlier narrative suggests Callaway Golf is about 1% overvalued at $12.59 versus a $12.50 fair value, but our DCF model paints a different picture. It points to a value of $23.87 per share, which implies the current price could be materially below the long term cash flow estimate. Which story do you think fits your expectations better?
