Mueller Industries shares swung sharply as traders reacted to the company’s latest earnings surprise and reassessed how long the rally can last. The move came after the firm posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter results that initially pushed the stock higher before profit-taking set in.
The company reported diluted EPS of $1.48 on net sales of $997.8 million, beating Wall Street forecasts. Investors also weighed a 22 percent jump in revenue, the successful integration of recent acquisitions, and comfort from a debt-free balance sheet with solid cash flow.
