The Zacks Rank system, which evaluates earnings estimates and revisions, suggests MODG might be undervalued.

This is supported by a 57.4% potential upside according to Wall Street analysts.
Topgolf Callaway’s strategic decision to split into two companies aims to enhance market position and operational efficiency. The separation will create a leading golf equipment and active lifestyle company, Callaway, and a high-growth, venue-based golf entertainment business, Topgolf. This move is expected to strengthen each entity’s focus and financial performance.
The new Callaway company will focus on golf equipment and active lifestyle, with a revenue of approximately $2.5 billion over the last twelve months through Q2 2024. Meanwhile, Topgolf will concentrate on venue-based golf entertainment, generating around $1.8 billion in revenue. This strategic shift aligns with the optimistic outlook from analysts like George Kelly.
