TopBuild also benefited from acquisitions despite the challenges.Shares of this installer and distributor of insulation and other building products climbed 4.3% during the trading session on Sept. 5. Positive investor sentiment was witnessed as the company achieved record quarterly sales and profit.

Despite this, the company remains optimistic, supported by growing demand for energy efficiency, the U.S. housing supply shortage, increasing household formations and the potential for lower interest rates to drive growth.\nInside BLD’s Q3 Results\nTopBuild reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $5.68 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.62 by 1.1%.
