SiteOne Q2 Sales and EBITDA Miss, Guides FY Organic Growth Flat to +1%
SITE is trading near its 52-week low of $98.17 (5.4% above the low).
Summary
SiteOne's Q2 sales of $1.53B and adjusted EBITDA of $237.2M both came in slightly below consensus, driven by soft demand in new residential construction and repair/upgrade markets. The company guided full-year organic daily sales growth to flat to up 1%, with adjusted EBITDA of $425M-$455M, signaling continued pressure. Acquisitions contributed 3% to sales growth, and gross margin improved to 36.9% on higher price realization, partially offset by cost headwinds. The company repurchased nearly $104M in shares, demonstrating capital allocation confidence despite the top-line miss. With the stock trading at 22x forward earnings, well below its recent multiple, the guidance cut and demand weakness are likely to weigh on near-term sentiment.
