The latest update is out from Patrick Industries ( (PATK) ).
Patrick Industries reported first-quarter 2026 results on April 30, 2026, with net sales essentially flat at $997 million versus a year earlier, as 14% marine and 28% powersports growth offset softer RV and housing demand. Operating income held at $65 million with a 6.5% margin, net income rose 3% to $39 million, and content per unit increased across RV and marine despite lower industry shipments.
Cash from operations turned to a $14 million use due to higher working capital tied to a composite products growth strategy, while trailing 12‑month free cash flow declined to $194 million and net leverage stood at 2.8x with $734 million of liquidity. The company returned $31 million to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in the quarter, continues to invest in automation, AI-enabled manufacturing and M&A, and confirmed April 17, 2026, that it is in discussions with LCI Industries on a potential merger of equals, though no transaction terms or assurances have been provided.
The RV segment, 45% of revenue, saw a 7% sales decline against a 12% drop in industry shipments, while marine revenue grew 14% and powersports 28%, underscoring Patrick’s strategy to drive higher content and attachment rates. Housing revenue fell 6% amid weaker manufactured housing shipments, but management emphasized the company’s diversified model and ongoing investments to support long-term growth and resilience in a challenging macro environment.
The most recent analyst rating on (PATK) stock is a Buy with a $150.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Patrick Industries stock, see the PATK Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PATK Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PATK is a Neutral.
The score is driven by solid cash generation and constructive 2026 guidance (margin and cash flow expansion), partially offset by elevated leverage and still-thin margins. The largest near-term drag is weak technical momentum (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation is acceptable but not compelling given the ~26 P/E despite a ~1.79% dividend yield.
