Gentrack Group Cuts Fiscal 2026 Revenue Guidance; Plans Buyback; Kiwi Shares Fall 22%

By

-- Gentrack Group (NZE:GTK, ASX:GTK) said it now expects fiscal year 2026 revenue of between NZ$229 million and NZ$238 million, lower than its previous guidance, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian and New Zealand bourses.

The company expects fiscal year 2026 recurring revenue to grow by over 10% to around NZ$174 million. It also expects fiscal first-half revenue of around NZ$110 million, of which roughly NZ$85 million would be recurring, per the filing.

Gentrack said it expects fiscal year 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of NZ$13.5 million to NZ$20 million, and fiscal first half EBITDA of about NZ$7.8 million, both excluding acquisition costs.

The guidance comes as the company has decided "to prioritize growth and global leadership over short-term EBITDA" and continues to invest in international expansion and product development, it said.

The company maintained its medium-term target of a more than 15% compound annual growth rate for revenue.

Additionally, after the release of fiscal first-half results, Gentrack's board plans to launch an on-market share buyback for up to 5% of the company's issued shares, per the filing.

The company's Kiwi shares fell 22% in recent Tuesday trade on the New Zealand bourse.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Builders Firstsource, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $85 from $125, based on a 2027 P/E of 13.1x, a premium to the stock's 10-year average forward P/E of 12.1x, justified by cyclical trough market conditions. We lower our adjusted EPS estimates to $4.10 from $6.69 for 2026 and to $6.50 from $8.01 for 2027. BLDR posted Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.27 vs. $1.51 (-82% Y/Y), well short of the $0.37 consensus. BLDR's Q1 sales fell 11% to $3.29B ($130M ahead of consensus), but gross margin contracted 220 bps to 28.3%. BLDR said it now expects 2026 net sales of $14.6B-$15.6B and adjusted EBITDA of $1.1B-$1.5B, versus prior expectations of $14.8B-$15.8B and $1.3B-$1.7B, respectively. Management said it remains focused on factors within its control, including serving customers, expanding its differentiated portfolio of value-added solutions, and leveraging technology to accelerate growth and drive operational excellence. We think BLDR's Q1 results underscore challenges the company faces from a weaker housing market.
