JELD-WEN ( (JELD) ) has provided an announcement.

For the first quarter ended March 28, 2026, JELD-WEN reported net revenue of $722.1 million, down 6.9% year over year as a 10% decline in core volume and mix more than offset currency tailwinds and the small impact of a prior Towanda divestiture. The company posted a net loss of $76.8 million, narrower than the year-ago period that included a large goodwill impairment, but adjusted EBITDA fell to $6.1 million and margins compressed amid unfavorable price/cost dynamics and weaker volumes.

North America revenue dropped 14.7% to $452.7 million with a sharp decline in volume and modest price erosion driving lower adjusted EBITDA, while Europe grew revenue 9.8% to $269.4 million on foreign exchange benefits despite softer core demand and saw reduced profitability. Operating cash flow remained negative at $91.2 million used, though capital spending declined and free cash outflow improved slightly, and management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $3.05–$3.2 billion while maintaining adjusted EBITDA guidance of $100–$150 million, signaling confidence in cost reductions despite continued demand pressures.

The most recent analyst rating on (JELD) stock is a Hold with a $1.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on JELD-WEN stock, see the JELD Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on JELD Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, JELD is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance (losses, negative free cash flow, and sharply worsened leverage from equity erosion). Technicals remain broadly bearish versus longer-term moving averages, and valuation support is limited due to negative earnings and no dividend. The earnings call adds some offset from operational progress and liquidity management, but guidance still implies declining revenue and continued cash use.
