What Happened?

Shares of building materials manufacturer UFP Industries (NASDAQ:UFPI) fell 6.7% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing Q1 2025 results: revenue, EPS, and EBITDA fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Sales declined slightly, driven by lower organic unit sales and modest price declines, with particularly sharp drops in the Retail and Packaging segments, offset only partially by slight growth in Construction. Overall, this was a weaker quarter.

The shares closed the day at $100.17, down 5.9% from previous close.
