2. Why it matters now

3. What to watch next
Attention is shifting to the next earnings update for confirmation on end-market demand—especially non-residential trends—and management’s 2026 outlook credibility. Any further broker revisions, changes to quarterly expectations, or commentary on residential/international headwinds could drive additional volatility in the shares. (markets.financialcontent.com)
