Benchmark reiterates Hold rating on MillerKnoll stock after solid Q1

Investing.com - Benchmark has reiterated its Hold rating on MillerKnoll (NASDAQ:MLKN) following the company’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 results released Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a Fair market valuation, with a solid financial health score of 2.05 out of 5.

MillerKnoll reported quarterly results that exceeded Wall Street expectations across revenue, EBITDA, and earnings per share metrics. The company demonstrated sales growth across all three of its business segments during the period, building on its impressive 5.37% revenue growth over the last twelve months. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company’s strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 1.67 and liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.

The furniture maker achieved greater fixed cost leverage during the quarter, with volume improvements in both North America and International Contract segments offsetting investments in Retail expansion, according to Benchmark.

Management’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 guidance aligned with consensus estimates, with the company noting that volatility in order patterns shows signs of normalizing after recent disruptions related to tariffs and comparisons.

Benchmark maintained its fiscal 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates at $1.75 and $2.00 respectively, though the firm indicated potential upside exists if volume growth exceeds their modest forecast as the year progresses.
