In a competitive building-materials sector, weak revenue momentum reduces operating leverage benefits and makes sustaining margin improvements harder without product, geographic or channel expansion.

Even with improved margins, sustained raw material inflation or a housing slowdown can quickly reverse profitability and pressure working capital needs.
