Municipal DemandStrength in municipal projects and a raised municipal outlook provide a stable demand backdrop that helps offset residential market weaknesses.
Bears Say
Analyst Sentiment And Valuation PressureAn analyst's Underperform rating with a price objective well below the stock's trading level signals potential valuation pressure and could weigh on investor sentiment.
Inflation And Operating CostsHigher underlying inflation and rising per-location rents are increasing operating costs and could erode margins if cost savings do not keep pace.
Residential Market WeaknessWeakness in residential end markets, which account for roughly one-fifth of sales, is offsetting growth initiatives and limiting revenue momentum.
