Builders FirstSource: Rating Downgrade On Poor Near-Term Demand Outlook
I downgraded Builders FirstSource to a sell due to disappointing 1Q25 performance, organic sales declines, and significant margin compression.

The single-family market struggles under affordability pressures, with management expecting mid-single-digit declines in starts for FY25.
