-- 奧本海默週二發布的一份報告指出，由於第一季獲利預期不如預期，財富品牌創新公司（FBIN）可能至少在未來幾季內仍將處於「競爭劣勢」。 這家投資公司表示，該公司水務業務在第一季市佔率有所下降，在管理層過渡期間，這種情況可能會持續全年。奧本海默補充說，第一季的其他不利因素包括單戶住宅開工量疲軟以及天氣問題對其戶外業務造成的影響。 該券商指出，財富品牌創新公司已連續兩季未達到華爾街的每股盈餘預期，其營業利潤率較2019年下降了350個基點。 奧本海默表示：“雖然這些失誤可以歸咎於原管理團隊，但新領導層需要應對這些問題。” 財富品牌創新公司計劃於週四發布第一季業績。 奧本海默維持對財富品牌創新公司的「與大盤持平」評級。
