Stock Track | H.B. Fuller Shares Plummet After Q3 Miss and Gloomy Outlook

Stock Track09-26

Shares of H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) plunged nearly 10% in pre-market trading on Thursday after the adhesives manufacturer reported worse-than-expected third-quarter results and lowered its full-year guidance, citing slowing demand in certain markets.

For the third quarter, H.B. Fuller's net revenue of $917.93 million fell short of analysts' consensus estimate of $944.3 million. While organic revenue saw modest growth, pricing adjustments caused a 2.6% decline, offsetting a 3.0% increase in volume.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.13 also missed the consensus forecast of $1.23. However, the company's adjusted gross profit margin expanded by 40 basis points year-over-year to 30.4%, driven by volume leverage, restructuring savings, and benefits from acquisitions.
