Callaway is one of the leaders in the American sports manufacturing business. The giant has multiple branches dealing with different sections of business. The firm owns Topgolf and is legally called Topgolf Callaway Brands Corporation now. Recently, the news of Callaway reporting a matter of concern financially has come forth.

As per the reports, the $2.31 billion giant’s stock is getting hammered, as it is lowering its famous full-year guidance now. It presents a sharp comparison between Callaway’s stock and Acushnet’s stock, which is its competitor in the golf market. Even with that, Callaway plans to invest more in Topgolf.

The tweet read, “Callaway reported financial results this afternoon. The stock is getting hammered after hours – down 18%. Most likely due to Callaway lowering its Full Year Guidance. Callaway’s stock is down 37% YTD – a sharp contrast to Acushnet – up 28% on the year.”

As per the tweet, Callaway is currently planning to open 250 Topgolf locations around the world. However, this would be a big investment due to the current comparative downfall of its stock prices. The question of the source of investment becomes apparent. Fans were quick to react to this latest update.
