Stock Track | Fortune Brands Reports Disappointing Q3 Results, Cuts Guidance

Stock Track11-07

Shares of Fortune Brands Home & Security Inc. (NYSE: FBIN) plunged 9.42% on November 7, 2024, after the company reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter results and lowered its full-year guidance, citing a challenging demand environment and the impact of recent hurricanes.

Fortune Brands, a leading home and security products manufacturer, reported adjusted earnings of $1.16 per share for the quarter ended January 1, 2024, missing analysts' expectations of $1.14 per share. Revenue fell 8.4% year-over-year to $1.16 billion, falling short of the consensus estimate of $1.24 billion.

The company's performance was impacted by several factors, including softer consumer demand, destocking in the wholesale decking channel, and intense competition from lower-quality import brands, particularly in the security segment. Additionally, the company's sales in China declined by over 40% due to cautious consumer behavior and a soft real estate market.
