Apogee Enterprises shares are trading lower. The company reported Q3 financial results.

Apogee Enterprises, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APOG#NASDAQ">APOG</a>) shares are trading lower after the company reported<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42839600/apogee-enterprises-reports-fiscal-2025-third-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> third-quarter results</a>.
Sales of&nbsp;$341.3 million&nbsp;beat the&nbsp;consensus&nbsp;estimate of&nbsp;$332.6 million. Revenue rose 0.5% year-over-year, driven by an $8.8 million contribution from the acquisition of UW Solutions and a more favorable project mix in Architectural Services.
The growth is partially offset by a less favorable mix in Architectural Framing Systems and a lower volume in Architectural Glass.
Adjusted EPS was $1.19,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$1.12</a>.
Gross margin fell 50 basis points to 26.1%, mainly due to lower sales volume, an unfavorable product mix in Architectural Framing Systems, higher incentive compensation, and lease expenses.
Adjusted operating income was $35.4 million, and the adjusted operating margin decreased 70 basis points to 10.4%. The decline in margin was mainly due to lower sales volume, a less favorable product mix, higher incentive compensation and lease expenses.
Apogee held&nbsp;$43.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of November 30.
Fiscal year-to-date, the company has returned $31.3 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments.
Outlook: Apogee Enterprises now expects FY25 net sales to decline around 5%, vs. the prior<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41182821/architectural-services-company-apogee-smashes-q2-expectations-hikes-fy25-eps-outlook-despite-revenu" rel="noreferrer noopener"> forecasted decline of 4% to 7%</a>.
The company expects adjusted EPS to be at the bottom end of the prior guidance range of $4.90 &#8211; $5.20, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">vs. consensus of $5.07</a>.
Apogee&#8217;s outlook includes an anticipated reduction of approximately $0.20 in adjusted diluted EPS due to the reversion to a 52-week year compared to fiscal 2024.
Project Fortify&#8217;s adverse net sales are expected to have no material effect on adjusted diluted EPS.
The company now expects pre-tax charges of $16 million to $17 million related to Project Fortify, which will result in annualized cost savings of $13 million to $14 million.
About 60% of these savings are expected to be realized in fiscal 2025, with the remainder in fiscal 2026. The plan is expected to be largely complete by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Apogee now anticipates capital expenditures of&nbsp;$40 million&nbsp;–&nbsp;$45 million in FY25.
Price Action: APOG shares are down 5.44%&nbsp;at&nbsp;$67.26 premarket at the last check Tuesday.

Architectural Services Company Apogee Smashes Q2 Expectations, Hikes FY25 EPS Outlook Despite Revenue Dip

Traders are cautiously optimistic ahead of the all-important payrolls report, with the index futures narrowly mixed in early Friday. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177060/port-strike-ends-workers-return-to-work-friday">suspension of the Longshoremen&#8217;s strike</a> removes one of the overhangs even as the Middle East tensions rage unabated. The September job gains could have a big impact on the near-term direction of the market.
&#8220;Payroll data will be closely watched as the sentiment is now that the Fed has become less focused on inflation and more on employment,&#8221; said fund manager Louis Navellier. A BofA note highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 futures have been more reactive to non-farm payroll data than any other economic data in recent years, a screenshot of the note shared by a financial writer on X showed.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks showed nervousness throughout Thursday&#8217;s session before closing lower, with geopolitical tensions, the dockworkers&#8217; strike and mixed economic data weighing down on sentiment. While a bigger-than-expected increase in jobless claims stirred anxiety about the monthly jobs data, the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s stronger-than-expected service sector purchasing managers&#8217; index tempered expectations concerning a bigger cut.
The Nasdaq Composite oscillated back and forth in the morning session but languished mostly below the unchanged line in the afternoon before ending marginally lower. This is despite IT and communication services posting moderate gains. The broader S&amp;P 500 Index traded mostly in the red and ended modestly lower, with consumer discretionary, consumer staple, healthcare, material and real estate stocks dragging the index lower. On the other hand, energy stocks posted solid gains. The index settled at a two-week low. 
The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average underperformed as it settled down 0.44% at a one-week low.

Insights From Analysts:
Comerica Chief Economist Bill Adams said he expects the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points in November, December, January and March and then move toward quarterly rate cuts for the rest of the next year. The economist noted that inflation is slowing to near the Fed&#8217;s 2% target, largely due to lower energy prices. Core inflation, though higher than the headline inflation, could slow due to downward pressure on durable goods and used autos persist and a slower increase in housing costs, he said.
Adams sees the Fed funds rate to be in the range of 3%-3.25% by the end of 2025. That said, the economist does not rule out a faster pace of rate cuts if the economy weakens materially, or a slower rate cut if the large deficit or wars in oil-exporting regions cause inflation to rebound.
Navellier weighed in on the near-term trajectory of the market in a note sent to clients on Thursday. &#8220;Funds flows into equities are likely to remain positive, at least until there is a sustained pullback, which hasn&#8217;t happened since &#8217;22,&#8221; he said.
The fund manager noted that the AI theme got a boost after OpenAI&#8217;s new funding round, which raised $6.6 billion from a long list of well-known investors, valuing the company at $157 billion. Also, Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s comments that demand for the company&#8217;s new Blackwell chips is &#8220;insane,&#8221; is a positive for the sector, he said.
 &#8220;AI adoption remains one of the fastest-growing new technologies ever and continues to promise big gains in productivity, though the timing of meaningful cash flow gains still remains uncertain,&#8221; he added.

Strong government infrastructure investments, rising construction starts, and increased demand for sustainable, resilient projects across the U.S. benefit the building materials market. Therefore, considering top building material stocks like Owens Corning (OC), Apogee Enterprises (APOG), and Griffon (GFF) could be a wise choice, as they stand to gain. Read on... The building materials market remains resilient, bolstered by robust government spending on construction, declining interest rates, and a positive economic outlook. Amid this construction surge, investing in fundamentally strong stocks like Owens Corning (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OC/">OC</a>), Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/APOG/">APOG</a>), and Griffon Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GFF/">GFF</a>), could be a wise choice.
Given the substantial demand for materials in construction activities, the building material industry stands to gain from significant infrastructure investments. U.S. construction starts are forecasted to grow by <a href="https://www.constructconnect.com/construction-economic-news/us-construction-starts-2025-growth-forecast-by-sector#:~:text=Moving%20into%20the%20new%20year,Residential%20and%20Nonresidential%20Building%20sectors.">8.5% in 2025</a>, with non-residential starts rising by 6.9% and residential buildings surging by 12%. Notably, manufacturing construction is expected to rebound after declines in 2023 and 2024.
The market is poised to benefit from the U.S. government's 2025 construction plan, which includes <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4739630-biden-administration-grants-infrastructure/">$1.8 billion in grants</a> for 148 infrastructure projects, and funding initiatives such as road repairs, electric buses, and bridge constructions across various states. Additionally, the global construction materials market is expected to surpass $2.01 trillion by 2034, growing at a healthy <a href="https://www.precedenceresearch.com/construction-materials-market#:~:text=Construction%20Materials%20Market%20Size%2C%20Share,3.90%25%20between%202024%20and%202034.">CAGR of 3.9%</a> from 2024 to 2034.
Furthermore, the building materials sector has a bright outlook in 2025, driven by growing demand for sustainable and resilient construction projects across the U.S. Let's take a closer look at the fundamentals of the three featured <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/industrial-building-materials/">Industrial - Building Materials</a> stocks, starting with number three.
