On March 16, 2026, Stifel analyst W. Andrew Carter lowered Builders FirstSource, Inc. (NYSE:BLDR)’s price target from $115 to $93, while reiterating a “Hold” rating. The firm’s analyst emphasized its long-term bias, which remains positive. However, he highlighted the need for accelerated growth. Accordingly, Carter maintained the firm’s forecasts, which sit near the bottom of the company’s own guidance. The firm’s model assumes that U.S. single-family home construction in 2026 will be unchanged, not significantly stronger.
