CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Toll Brothers' Q2 revenue of $2.51B (-7% Y/Y) beat guidance and consensus, delivering 2,491 homes (-14% units) at ~$1,009k ASP (+8% Y/Y). EPS of $2.72 beat $2.59 consensus, driven by stronger-than-guided adjusted gross margin of 26.2% and favorable home mix. Strong operational execution demonstrated pricing power and cost control, though inventory impairments surged to $32.5M from $9.8M prior year. Q3 guidance fell short of consensus due to pull-forward of closings into Q2, but management raised full-year guidance across all metrics. Net orders grew 8% to $2.81B with backlog ASP rising to $1,171.8k, indicating higher-quality pipeline. However, sales pace per community declined Y/Y and spring selling season momentum of +23% sequential order growth fell short of typical +55% advance. We believe the Q3 shortfall reflects timing rather than fundamental weakness, though inventory impairments and moderated sales pace warrant monitoring in a challenging market environment.
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 by $1 to $6, based on 17.1x our FY 28 (Mar.) EPS estimate and well below the company's three-year average forward P/E multiple of 31.4x. We lower our FY 27 EPS estimate by $0.30 to $0.15 and initiate our FY 28 EPS estimate at $0.35. UAA's revenue declined 0.8% to $1.17B, in line with consensus estimates (down 4.2% in constant currency), as a 7% decline in North America was partially offset by 10% international growth. The company posted adjusted diluted loss per share of $0.03 compared to a loss per share of $0.08 in the year prior and in line with consensus estimates. Gross margin compression of 470 bps to 42.0% represented the most significant headwind, primarily attributable to elevated tariff costs, along with pricing pressures, higher product costs, and unfavorable regional mix. This more than offset benefits from disciplined expense management, as SG&A declined 15% to $518M, reflecting lower marketing spend due to timing shifts and reduced compensation.
