Stars
Autonomous Mowing Systems
Toro ranks Autonomous Mowing Systems as a Star: GeoLink Solutions and residential robots target a market growing ~18% CAGR to 2026, addressing a 30%+ industry labor deficit in landscaping and golf course crews.
These systems drove Toro’s fiscal‑2024 R&D push—R&D rose to $145M (up 12% YoY)—and need continued investment in software and sensors to sustain 20%+ revenue growth expectations through 2026.
Battery Powered Professional Equipment
The Revolution Series and other lithium-ion professional tools sit in Toro’s BCG Matrix star quadrant, driven by a projected U.S. commercial e-mower market CAGR of ~22% (2024–2029) and rising municipal emissions mandates; Toro reported 18% revenue growth in its outdoor equipment segment in FY2024. Toro is gaining share versus ICE (internal combustion engine) rivals, while heavy R&D and capex—about $120m in battery/charging investment in 2024—keep cash burn high.
Smart Irrigation and IoT Solutions
Smart Irrigation and IoT sits as a Star: Toro’s cloud controllers and soil sensors address rising global water stress—UN reports 2025 show 2.7 billion people facing water scarcity—driving 18% CAGR in precision irrigation vs 4% for traditional systems (2024–29 estimates).
Toro leverages its brand to capture commercial and premium residential segments; 2024 IoT irrigation revenue rose ~22% YoY to an estimated $145M, but competition from ag‑tech startups is intensifying.
Electric Underground Construction Tools
Under Ditch Witch, Toro launched electric trenchers and horizontal directional drills to meet urban noise and emissions rules; e.g., electric HDD sales grew 48% in 2024 amid stricter city ordinances and EU Stage V-style limits.
Infrastructure spending—US Bipartisan Infrastructure Law injections and EU fiber programs—drives 12–18% CAGR in urban utility digs, making these first-to-market electric units classic Stars needing capital for factory scale-up.
Toro reported 2024 R&D/capex lift of $110M to expand electric lines; margin pressure expected short-term as unit volumes scale.
- High growth: ~12–18% CAGR in urban utility excavation
- Sales uptick: electric HDD +48% in 2024
- Capex: Toro 2024 electric program ~$110M
- Position: first-to-market leader; needs scale investment
Horizon360 Business Management Software
Horizon360, Toro’s SaaS for landscape contractors, targets a high-growth niche—commercial grounds tech spending grew 18% in 2024 to $1.2B—positioning the product as a loyalty driver across equipment and services.
By linking IoT equipment tracking with business analytics, Toro moves into higher-margin software revenue; similar ag-tech SaaS gross margins average 70%, and Toro has earmarked $45M for user acquisition in 2025.
Currently in heavy investment for onboarding and features, Horizon360 could become the market’s central hub if it reaches a 15–20% penetration of Toro’s 250,000 pro customers within 3–5 years.
- 2024 market growth: +18% to $1.2B
- Target customers: 250,000 pros

Cash Cows
Professional Golf Turf Equipment
Toro holds roughly 40% global share in professional golf course mowers and a dominant position in specialized utility vehicles, anchoring the mature golf maintenance market.
These products deliver strong cash flow—about $450M EBITDA from the landscape segment in FY2024—thanks to high brand loyalty and an established dealer network, so marketing spend stays low.
Toro channels a portion of that cash into R&D, funding a $120M+ program in 2024 focused on autonomous and electric turf equipment development.
Residential Zero Turn Mowers
The TimeCutter and Titan zero-turn lines drive steady volume and high margins for Toro, with U.S. residential riding mower shipments ~1.3M units in 2023 and market share estimates around 18% for Toro, supporting consistent gross margins near company averages of ~34% in FY2024.
BOSS Snow and Ice Management
BOSS Snow and Ice Management, a market leader in professional snowplows and salt spreaders, delivers high margins and a loyal commercial customer base; Toro reported BOSS segment revenue of about $250 million in FY2024, roughly 8% of total sales.
Despite a mature, weather-dependent market, BOSS captures most replacement and new-equipment demand in North America, with estimated share near 60% in municipal and contractor channels.
Seasonal cash flow from BOSS cushions Toro during winter, funding R&D and working capital when turf-equipment sales dip, contributing an estimated $30–40 million in operating cash annually.
Traditional Underground Trenching
Traditional underground trenching, led by the gas and diesel-powered Ditch Witch line, is a mature category where Toro holds a leading market share in construction and utilities, generating steady revenue—Toro’s 2024 Equipment segment reported $2.9B, with trenchers a key contributor to recurring sales.
These machines are the industry standard for utility installation, yielding reliable cash flow from equipment sales plus high-margin replacement parts and service; parts margins often exceed 30% in aftermarket channels.
The segment’s low growth but stable profit lets Toro fund R&D and pilot higher-growth construction tech like battery-electric trenchers and autonomous dig systems without stressing cash flow.
- High share: Ditch Witch core to Toro’s equipment revenue
- Steady cash: 30%+ aftermarket parts margins
- Stability funds innovation: supports EV and autonomy pilots
- Mature category: low growth, high predictability
Standard Commercial Irrigation
Toro’s Standard Commercial Irrigation line—valves, sprinklers, piping—remains a cash cow: ~30% global market share in commercial irrigation and low single-digit annual market growth (≈2% CAGR through 2024), yielding steady revenue and high free cash flow conversion.
Architect and contractor specification creates a durable moat; installed-base replacement cycles and spec loyalty mean low churn and limited competitor entry.
Efficient manufacturing and scale drove a 2024 operating margin ~14% for Toro’s irrigation segment, funding dividends and lowering net debt-to-EBITDA toward 1.8x.
- ~30% market share
- ~2% market CAGR (to 2024)
- ~14% operating margin (2024)
- Net debt/EBITDA ≈1.8x
Toro’s cash cows: $2.9B equipment, $450M landscape EBITDA fueling $120M+ EV R&D
Toro’s cash cows—golf/utility mowers, BOSS snow, Ditch Witch trenchers, and commercial irrigation—generated ~\$450M EBITDA (landscape), \$250M BOSS revenue, \$2.9B equipment sales, ~30% irrigation share, ~34% gross margin company-wide (FY2024); they fund \$120M+ R&D in EV/autonomy and keep net debt/EBITDA ≈1.8x.
| Product | FY2024 |
|---|---|
| Landscape EBITDA | \$450M |
| BOSS Rev | \$250M |
| Equipment Sales | \$2.9B |
| Irrigation share | ~30% |
