Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“As we look ahead, we expect conditions in both the U.S. and Europe to remain challenging and we do not anticipate sustaining the same level of revenue growth through the remainder of the year. As for our outlook on the markets, we now believe 2026 housing starts in the United States will be down low single digits compared to 2025. And in Europe, we expect flat to modest growth in the market for 2026.” Michael Olosky, CEO
“This authorization underscores our confidence in the long-term prospects of the business and our ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders.” Matt Dunn, CFO
