Universal Forest Products stock price target held at $110 by DA Davidson

Investing.com - DA Davidson maintained its Neutral rating and $110.00 price target on Universal Forest Products (NASDAQ:UFPI), currently trading at $103.17, following the company’s second-quarter 2025 results. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears slightly undervalued based on its Fair Value estimates.

The company’s Q2 performance fell short of DA Davidson’s forecasts, with the primary weakness coming from lower-than-expected Retail volume and gross margin. According to the firm, these results partially reflect immediate headwinds from certain shelf-space losses, while benefits from shelf-space gains have been slower to materialize.

Despite the disappointing quarterly results, DA Davidson characterized the weakness in the Retail segment as "more of a timing issue than anything," suggesting the firm views these challenges as temporary rather than structural.

The report highlighted Universal Forest Products’ share repurchase activity as a positive development. The company bought back $191 million worth of shares during the quarter, which DA Davidson noted represents a record amount for UFPI.

The firm also pointed out that Universal Forest Products maintains a "significant net cash balance" even after the record share repurchases, indicating the company’s continued financial flexibility.
