Beacon Risk Factors
According to the new TipRanks Risk Factors tool, Beacon’s main risk category is Finance & Corporate, which accounts for 47% of the total 19 risks identified. The next two major risk factor contributors are Ability to Sell and Macro & Political, which stand at 16%, each.
Beacon recently added one risk factor under Legal & Regulatory.
According to Beacon, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s new regulation requiring firms with 100 or more employees to have a mandatory COVID-19 immunization program might lead to higher expenses and employee turnover. This might put the company’s finances in jeopardy.
Further, the overall sector average for the Finance & Corporate risk factor is 35.7%.
Q4 Financial Results
The firm recorded $1.88 billion in sales, up 6.9% year-over-year. Sales across Residential Roofing Products, Complementary Products, and Non-Residential Roofing products rose by 3.1%, 17%, and 7%, respectively.
The company posted earnings of $1.22 per share, which fell short of analyst expectations of $1.54 per share.
Wall Street’s Take
Following the fiscal Q4 earnings announcement, Stephens analyst Trey Grooms reiterated a Neutral rating on Beacon stock and increased its price target to $62 from $56.
According to Grooms, long-term demand is solid for both the Residential and Commercial segments, but near-term growth in the Residential segment will most likely be confined to pricing changes.
Consensus among analysts is a Hold based on three Buys, five Holds, and one Sell rating in the last three months. The average BECN price target is $61.21, reflecting a potential 12-month upside of 16.5% from current levels.
