Yahoo Finance Q1 Earnings Outperformers: Resideo (NYSE:REZI) And The Rest Of The Building Materials Stocks
The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who not so much). Let’s take a look at how building materials stocks fared in Q1, starting with Resideo (NYSE:REZI).
Traditionally, building materials companies have built competitive advantages with economies of scale, brand recognition, and strong relationships with builders and contractors. More recently, advances to address labor availability and job site productivity have spurred innovation. Additionally, companies in the space that can produce more energy-efficient materials have opportunities to take share. However, these companies are at the whim of construction volumes, which tend to be cyclical and can be impacted heavily by economic factors such as interest rates. Additionally, the costs of raw materials can be driven by a myriad of worldwide factors and greatly influence the profitability of building materials companies.
The 7 building materials stocks we track reported a solid Q1; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 1.3%. while next quarter's revenue guidance was in line with consensus. Stocks, especially growth stocks where cash flows further in the future are more important to the story, had a good end of 2023. But the beginning of 2024 has seen more volatile stock performance due to mixed inflation data, but building materials stocks have shown resilience, with share prices up 7.8% on average since the previous earnings results.
