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.
