Eos Energy stock falls after Fuzzy Panda issues short report
Investing.com - KeyBanc Capital Markets has reiterated its Sector Weight rating on Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a $13.6 billion industrial equipment manufacturer trading at 29x earnings, following the company’s third-quarter 2025 earnings results. According to InvestingPro data, the company has maintained dividend payments for an impressive 55 consecutive years, with a current yield of 1.34%.
The industrial equipment manufacturer reported weaker-than-expected top-line performance, with particular softness noted in its Contractor segment, according to KeyBanc.
The investment firm expressed disappointment in Graco’s quarterly sales figures, which fell short of expectations primarily due to underperformance in the construction-related business unit.
KeyBanc analyst Jeffrey Hammond maintained the neutral stance on Graco while adjusting earnings estimates following the quarterly report. The firm cited broad residential market softness as a contributing factor to the company’s challenges.
Given Graco’s premium valuation and the current weakness in construction trends, KeyBanc believes upside potential for the stock will likely remain limited in the near term.
