The company raised full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to USD 11.80-12.20, compared with USD 11.43 in fiscal year 2025, while warning that customer demand remained soft in the second half.

Analysts see a wider valuation gap

Barchart reported a Moderate Buy consensus from 27 analysts on October 6, 2026, with an average price target of USD 386.39. That target lies 23.5 percent above the USD 312.97 NYSE price, a gap that reflects expectations for earnings growth despite weaker housing-related demand.
