On Monday, Benchmark analysts maintained their Speculative Buy rating on FGI Industries (NASDAQ:FGI), while adjusting the price target to $2.00 from the previous $2.50. Currently trading at $0.67, FGI Industries has demonstrated strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2024, with revenues climbing approximately 15% year-over-year, driven by growth across all business segments and geographies. This increase marked a continuation of the company’s yearly revenue growth trend, which saw an approximate 12% rise year-over-year to $131.8 million. InvestingPro analysis reveals 14 additional key insights about FGI’s performance and outlook.
Despite the positive revenue trends, FGI Industries’ profitability for the quarter fell short of market expectations. The company’s aggressive investments in growth throughout the year have bolstered the top line but have done so at the cost of bottom-line earnings. The company’s Building Products Corporation (BPC) growth strategy has been gaining traction and outperforming the broader market even as the Repair and Remodeling (R&R) sector faces significant global challenges.
In response to these developments, Benchmark analysts have revised their earnings per share (EPS) estimate for the fiscal year 2025. The new estimate anticipates a loss of $0.05 per share, a downward revision from the previously expected gain of $0.10 per share. This adjustment reflects the analysts’ consideration of the risks and the current market environment affecting FGI Industries.
Despite the lowered profitability forecast, Benchmark analysts are holding steady on their Speculative Buy rating for FGI Industries stock. The revised price target of $2.00, down from $2.50, suggests that the analysts still see potential value in the stock, albeit with a more conservative outlook based on the latest financial data and market conditions.
In other recent news, FGI Industries reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, revealing a mixed performance. The company achieved a notable revenue of $35.6 million, surpassing expectations of $32.29 million and marking a 15% year-over-year increase. However, the earnings per share (EPS) fell short, coming in at -$0.04 against a forecast of $0.05. Despite the revenue growth, profitability did not meet market expectations, partly due to significant investments in growth initiatives. Benchmark analysts responded by reducing the price target for FGI Industries to $2.00 from $2.50, though they maintained a Speculative Buy rating. Analyst Reuben Garner highlighted that while the company’s Building Products and Construction strategy is performing well, the Repair and Remodeling sector faces global challenges. As a result, Benchmark revised its earnings per share estimate for fiscal year 2025 to a loss of $0.05, down from a previously anticipated gain of $0.10. Looking ahead, FGI Industries projects 2025 revenue between $135 million and $145 million, with an adjusted operating income ranging from -$2 million to +$1.5 million.
