Acushnet Holdings Corp . (NYSE:GOLF), a leading manufacturer in the golf industry with a market capitalization of $4.45 billion, has entered into a stock repurchase agreement with Magnus Holdings Co., Ltd.

The deal, announced today, allows for the buyback of up to $62.5 million of Acushnet's common stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company's stock is currently trading above its Fair Value, while maintaining strong financial health with an overall score rated as "GOOD."

Under the terms of the agreement, dated December 17, 2024, the repurchase will occur on a share-for-share basis as Acushnet buys back shares from the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

This period will begin on January 2, 2025, and will run until a "determination date," which is either when the aggregate $62.5 million repurchase is reached, a mutually agreed upon date, or no later than June 30, 2025.

InvestingPro data reveals that management has been consistently aggressive with share buybacks, while maintaining a healthy current ratio of 2.1, indicating strong liquidity.

The specific details of the agreement are outlined in Exhibit 10.1 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
