Investing.com - Citi has reiterated its Neutral rating and $74.00 price target on Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:FND) ahead of the company’s second-quarter earnings report scheduled for July 31.
Citi analyst Steven Zaccone has modestly lowered second-quarter same-store sales and earnings per share estimates, citing weaker high-frequency data trends at the end of the quarter and ongoing pressure in the housing market. The company’s revenue growth has slowed to 3% over the last twelve months, while maintaining a healthy gross margin of 44.2%.
The firm anticipates Floor & Decor may slightly miss consensus same-store sales expectations while delivering earnings per share slightly above market estimates for the second quarter.
For the full year, Citi’s estimates have fallen toward the lower end of management’s guidance range for both same-store sales and earnings per share, with the analyst noting that management might reduce guidance given the weaker demand environment.
Key focus areas for the upcoming earnings call include potential tariff impacts on margins, pricing outlook updates, commentary on professional customer market share gains, and any changes to store opening plans. The company currently maintains moderate debt levels with sufficient cash flows to cover interest payments, according to InvestingPro analysis.
