Armstrong World ( (AWI) ) has provided an update.

On Feb. 24, 2026, Armstrong World Industries reported record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, with Q4 net sales up 5.6% to $388.3 million, operating income up 12.3%, and adjusted EBITDA up 11.5%, driven by higher Average Unit Value and contributions from its 2024 acquisitions. Full-year 2025 net sales rose 12% to $1.6 billion, with operating income up 15%, EPS up 18%, and cash flow from operating and investing activities up 88%, underscoring resilient profitability, successful integration of Architectural Specialties acquisitions, and a solid platform for a planned CEO transition and continued growth in 2026.

Mineral Fiber delivered margin expansion on favorable pricing despite softer volumes linked to indirect effects from a federal government shutdown and weaker home center demand, while Architectural Specialties posted double-digit sales growth but lower margins amid acquisition-related costs. Management highlighted that 2025 marked a second consecutive year of double-digit sales and earnings growth and the fifth straight year of profitable top- and bottom-line gains, reinforcing Armstrong’s positioning as a differentiated, cash-generative building products player for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AWI) stock is a Buy with a $227.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Armstrong World stock, see the AWI Stock Forecast page.
