Shares of Floor & Decor Holdings Inc. (NYSE: FND), a leading specialty retailer of hard-surface flooring, surged 6.63% on October 31, 2024, following the company's impressive third-quarter earnings report and raised full-year guidance.

In the third quarter, Floor & Decor reported better-than-expected earnings of $0.48 per diluted share, surpassing analysts' expectations of $0.43 per share. The company's net sales increased by 0.9% year-over-year to $1.12 billion, despite a 6.4% decline in comparable store sales.
