CNM outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the four quarters, met in one, and missed in two instances, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 1.7%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CNM’s revenues is pegged at $7.5 billion, indicating an 11.4% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual.We anticipate robust end-market volumes and an earlier start to the selling season in some northern geographies to have benefited the top line.
Residential lot development is expected to have improved due to backlog and bidding activity across the market. The non-residential landscape is believed to have prospered on the back of verticals, including highway and street projects, data centers, battery plants, and other large industrial manufacturing projects. We expect municipal projects to have shown good momentum during an important part of the construction season.
CNM is anticipated to have benefited from the continued operations of Dana Kepner, which is a multi-region distributor of water, storm drainage products and wastewater across 21 locations. Dana Kepner is expected to have provided the company with opportunities to generate synergies via its combined purchasing capabilities, facility optimization and fixed cost leverage as it brings revenue-generating opportunities. It will do so by providing CNM’s customers with broader access to products and services.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $2.3 per share, implying 7.9% growth on a year-over-year basis. We anticipate that the rise in revenues across different segments to have a positive impact on the bottom line.
