# Builders FirstSource Faces Near-Term Challenging Sales Volumes, Wedbush Says

> Builders FirstSource (BLDR) faces near-term sales volume challenges due to persistent new home inventories and lower lumber prices, according to Wedbush Securities. The brokerage downgraded its stock rating to neutral from outperform, maintaining a $145 price target. The outlook for single-family starts remains unpromising for 2025 and 2026, and lumber prices have not increased as expected, potentially impacting Q3 results. Shares fell 1.5% in early trading, priced at $140.63.

(MT Newswires) -- Builders FirstSource's (BLDR) sales volumes may be challenged in the near term and into 2026 amid "persistent" new home inventories and lower lumber prices, Wedbush Securities said in a note Monday.

The brokerage said that the macro outlook for Builders' core sales channel of single family starts doesn't look "promising" for the remainder of 2025 and 2026.

The firm said that lumber prices have not risen following the increase in Canadian import duties as it anticipated, which "may be a drag" on Q3 results.

Wedbush downgraded its rating on the stock to neutral from outperform while maintaining a $145 price target.

Shares were down 1.5% in recent early trading.

Price: 140.63, Change: -2.10, Percent Change: -1.47
