RBC cuts target to USD 62

Investing.com reported on October 7, 2026 that RBC Capital downgraded Builders FirstSource from Outperform to Sector Perform and reduced its price target from USD 88 to USD 62. RBC also cut its fiscal 2026 EBITDA estimate from USD 1.08 billion to USD 1.06 billion and its fiscal 2027 estimate from USD 1.25 billion to USD 1.06 billion.

The target reduction reflects weaker volume assumptions and pressure on gross margin. RBC lowered its fourth-quarter EBITDA estimate by 12 percent to USD 208 million, below a Street estimate of USD 240 million, while its volume forecast moved to negative 5 percent from negative 2 percent.
