JELD-WEN NYSE: JELD reported lower first-quarter 2026 revenue and earnings as weak demand, inflation and negative price-cost dynamics weighed on results, while management raised its full-year revenue outlook based on improving service levels and a smaller expected share-loss headwind.
JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (JELD) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
JELD-WEN Holding remains a soft 'sell' due to collapsing sales, strained profitability, and continued market underperformance. JELD is objectively cheap and management targets EBITDA of $100–$150 million for 2026, but revenue stabilization is not expected until late this year. Management is pursuing $110 million in cost improvements and considering strategic options for its European business to address high net leverage (8.28x).
