Wednesday, Benchmark raised the price target for TopBuild Corp (NYSE:BLD) to $470.00, up from $450.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment follows TopBuild's announcement of its first-quarter 2024 results, which demonstrated higher than expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and earnings per share (EPS), despite a revenue shortfall.
TopBuild, which specializes in insulation and building material services, reported its first-quarter performance earlier this week. Although the company missed revenue expectations, it saw a 100 basis point expansion in adjusted EBITDA margin. This was attributed to successful pricing strategies and productivity improvements.
In response to the results, TopBuild has updated its financial outlook for the fiscal year 2024. The company has increased its profit forecast and adjusted its revenue guidance upwards to account for the impact of recent acquisitions. These positive developments have influenced Benchmark's decision to revise its price target and EPS estimates for the company.
The new EPS estimates for TopBuild stand at $21.75 for the fiscal year 2024 and $22.75 for the fiscal year 2025. The raised stock price target and optimistic earnings estimates reflect the analyst's confidence in TopBuild's operational performance and strategic acquisitions moving forward.
