Seeking Alpha analysts are cautious and see the stock as a Hold.
“Recent results showed resilient margins and some Pro business momentum, but overall demand remains tepid with ongoing risks from tariffs and weak construction activity,” highlighted Seeking Alpha analyst Seeking Profits.
Additionally, “the ADG acquisition expands Pro exposure, but limited market growth and high debt mean management will prioritize balance sheet improvement over buybacks for now,” said the analyst.
The stock has lost more than 9% so far this year, compared to the 4.96% rise in the broader S&P 500 Index.
