Ketan Mamtora has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors concerning Fortune Brands Innovations. The company’s fourth-quarter results fell short of both BMO and consensus expectations, and the guidance for the fiscal year 2025 also lagged behind current consensus estimates. Although some of these issues are temporary, the demand softness is anticipated to persist in the near term, which poses a challenge to the company’s performance.
Despite these challenges, there are positive aspects to consider. Fortune Brands Innovations is experiencing growth and margin expansion opportunities in their Connected Products segment and maintains a strong balance sheet. Furthermore, the company’s valuation is becoming more appealing. However, due to the prevailing uncertainty surrounding demand, Mamtora has opted for a cautious stance, thus assigning a Market Perform rating and slightly reducing the target price.
In another report released today, Robert W. Baird also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $80.00 price target.
