On August 4, Builders FirstSource rose 6.62% in regular trading, trading at approximately $70.84 per share, with turnover of $69.5 million. The stock staged a recovery bounce after several trading days of digesting the Q2 earnings miss, aided by broader market strength.
On July 30, the company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.17, missing the consensus estimate of $1.27 by approximately 7.9%, representing a 50.8% year-over-year decline from $2.38. Net sales of $3.86 billion also fell short of the $3.92 billion estimate and declined from $4.23 billion a year earlier. The company simultaneously lowered its full-year net sales guidance to $14.0 billion-$14.8 billion, down from the prior $14.6 billion-$15.6 billion range. Shares initially dropped over 4% in pre-market trading on the earnings release date.
Several institutions have since reduced price targets, with Stifel cutting to $65 from $70, BMO to $85 from $93, and Stephens to $80 from $85, all maintaining neutral ratings. The average analyst price target stands at approximately $95. The company expects $50 million to $70 million in full-year productivity savings through operational efficiency improvements.
