Quanex Building Products (NX) Reports $409.1M FQ1 2026 Sales, $27.4M Adjusted EBITDA

Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE:NX) is one of the cheap stocks that will go to the moon according to Reddit. On March 5, Quanex Building Products reported FQ1 2026 net sales of $409.1 million, which was a 2.3% increase year-over-year. This growth was driven by foreign exchange translation and the pass-through of tariffs, which helped offset lower volumes in the Extruded Solutions segment. While the company reported a narrowed GAAP net loss of $4.1 million compared to $14.9 million a year ago, adjusted EBITDA fell to $27.4 million as reduced operating leverage and temporary operational costs at its Monterrey, Mexico facility weighed on margins.

Chairman and CEO George Wilson noted that results tracked internal expectations despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop defined by high interest rates, inflationary pressures, and housing affordability issues. Due to the seasonal nature of the business and the integration of the Tyman acquisition, Quanex expects to be a net borrower in H1 of the year. As of January 31, the company maintained a healthy liquidity position of $331.6 million and a leverage ratio of 2.8x, with a continued focus on prioritizing debt repayment as cash generation ramps up.
