Interface Inc.: Strong Financial Performance and Strategic Outlook Justify Buy Rating

Alexander Paris, an analyst from Barrington, reiterated the Buy rating on Interface (TILE – Research Report). The associated price target remains the same with $30.00.

Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Interface’s recent financial performance and strategic outlook. The company reported a 2.6% increase in net sales for the first quarter, surpassing market expectations, and demonstrated strong pricing power despite challenges such as higher manufacturing and freight costs.
