Builders FirstSource (BLDR) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Sep 28 close
$58.01−1.16 (−2.0%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryBuilders FirstSource shares have stayed under pressure this week, extending a decline tied to second-quarter results released on 30 July. That quarter showed net sales down roughly 8.8% to $3.86 billion, with adjusted EPS of $1.17 missing the $1.28 estimate, and gross profit weakness carried over from a soft housing market spanning single-family, multifamily and repair and remodel activity. Stifel reiterated a Hold rating with a $65.00 price target on 24 September, and shares have traded near their 52-week low amid broader housing-materials weakness and higher bond yields pressuring rate-sensitive names.
BLDR closed at $58.01, down 2% on the day, sitting below both its 50-day average of $66.99 and 200-day average of $86.60, with the stock down 13.7% over the past month and 50.4% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 63.7, placing it in the Accumulation zone. Gekko Fair Value stands at $93.08, putting the current price 37.7% below that mark.
The next earnings date falls on 29 October, 30 days out and beyond a typical 20-day holding window. Over the last 90 days, Congress recorded 1 buy and 0 sells, while the last 30 days show 1 unusual options signal with call premium of $324,905 against no put premium. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged -1.6% over 5 years, rising in 3 of those years, a mixed backdrop worth noting alongside the stock's typical 20-day move of 9.7%.

About Builders FirstSource
Builders FirstSource makes and delivers building materials, ready-made components, and construction services aimed at professional homebuilders, sub-contractors, remodelers, and everyday consumers. Among the items it turns out are roof and floor trusses built in factories, wall panels, stairs, vinyl windows, custom millwork and trim, plus engineered wood, covering both the framing and finishing stages of a construction job.
Its operations blend in-house manufacturing with distribution, so it produces a good portion of what it then supplies to builders and contractors working on housing projects. The people it serves are mainly professionals in home construction, along with remodelers and consumers seeking building supplies directly.
Kevin P. O'Meara, Donald F. McAleenan, and John D. Roach started the company back in March 1998, and its main offices sit in Irving, Texas. The stock trades on the NYSE, where it goes by the ticker BLDR.

Last earnings call, Jul 30, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Builders FirstSource reported second quarter 2026 results showing resilience in a weak housing market but with clearly visible headwinds. Net sales declined ~9% to $3.9 billion driven by lower core organic sales and commodity deflation; core organic sales fell across single-family (-8%), multifamily (-10%) and Repair & Remodel (-2%). Gross profit declined 16.3% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, and gross margin was 28.1% (down 260 bps). Management lowered full-year guidance reflecting a more cautious view of housing starts, reiterated discipline on costs and working capital, and is executing meaningful cost actions (targeting $115 million in 2026, $140 million run-rate including additional actions). They expect about a $100 million headwind from higher fuel costs (inbound and outbound) and reduced 2026 CapEx by $50 million. Management emphasized market share maintenance, digital and value-added capabilities, continued M&A interest, and prudent capital allocation. They signaled margin stability in the second half but noted continued competitive pressure and uncertainty tied to macro factors (inflation, interest rates, geopolitical events).
- Guidance
- Management lowered full-year guidance to reflect a more cautious view of housing starts (no specific full-year revenue/EPS figures in the transcript). They now expect single-family starts to decline mid-single digit to high-single digit for the year. They expect commodity cost behavior to float up through Q2 and retreat in H2 (no change to prior commodity outlook). They are targeting $115 million of cost reductions in 2026 (with $140 million run-rate including additional actions); $40 million of new cost actions begun immediately with ~$15 million expected to hit in 2026. They expect approximately a $100 million headwind from higher fuel costs for the year. They reduced CapEx guidance by $50 million for 2026.
- Risks flagged
- Headwinds highlighted include: weak housing demand due to elevated interest rates and affordability pressures, commodity price volatility (lumber/OSB and other materials), a roughly $100 million fuel/diesel cost headwind, competitive pricing pressures compressing margins, geopolitical uncertainty impacting sentiment, potential excess capacity and the need to rationalize locations/facilities, and uncertainty around multi-family starts data. Management also noted potential downside scenarios and emphasized ongoing risk from macro and competitive dynamics.
