A Look at UFP Industries's Upcoming Earnings Report

Amid an especially volatile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44176918/trump-delays-mexico-tariffs-for-a-month-economic-uncertainty-persits">start to 2025</a>, small-cap stocks have struggled. Are they now a buy at depressed valuations?
Russell 2000: The Russell 2000, as reflected by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), has dropped nearly 15% since December 2024. This constitutes a market correction.
The Trump Administration has embraced domestic and foreign policies that Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43649860/larry-summers-and-peter-schiff-warn-of-rising-inflation-risks-as-markets-slash-fed-rate-cut-expectations-most-sensitive-moment">labels as inflationary</a>. Higher prices could lead to higher interest rates, which disproportionately affect smaller companies with floating-rate debt.
The Russell index <a href="https://research.ftserussell.com/Analytics/FactSheets/Home/DownloadSingleIssue?issueName=US2000USD&amp;isManual=True">contains</a> 2,000 companies with an average market cap of around $1 billion. Higher-weighted components are likely to have outperformed the rest of the index and are not necessarily representative of the entire Russell 2000. Still, they provide a glimpse into how investors are valuing small-cap companies.
Here&#8217;s how the top stocks in the IWM have performed since the ETF&#8217;s correction began in December 2024:

Are Small-Cap Stocks A Buy After Russell 2000 Correction?

Benchmark analyst Reuben Garner reiterates UFP Industries (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFPI#NASDAQ">UFPI</a>) with a Buy and maintains $135 price target.

Analyst Ratings

Benchmark Reiterates Buy on UFP Industries, Maintains $135 Price Target

Short-Term Outlook
Tariff impacts: We are working closely with our domestic and international suppliers to navigate the recently proposed tariffs, which have been paused in Mexico and Canada. If tariffs are enforced, the demand for domestic product is expected to increase, which will likely increase costs as capacity gets challenged. Although the trade landscape continues to evolve, since we do not own any foreign sawmills and have excellent relationships with our mill partners, we believe we are currently in a strong position to adapt quickly to tariffs without adverse financial impact after a short adjustment period. The company will continue to monitor the market and make decisions quickly to minimize disruption.
End Market Demand: We anticipate the softer demand and a competitive pricing environment will continue through the first half of 2025, with overall demand slightly down in each of our Retail, Packaging, and Constructions segments.
Long-Term Outlook
The company's long-term goals remain unchanged and include: 1) achieving 7-10 percent unit sales growth annually (including bolt-on acquisitions) and at least 10 percent of all sales coming from new products; 2) achieving 12.5 percent EBITDA margins; 3) earning an incremental return on new investments over its hurdle rate; and 4) maintaining its conservative capital structure.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, UFP Industries's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.54%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Simon Property Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPG#NYSE">SPG</a>): The large real estate investment trust saw increased interest from readers during the week.

Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>): The company, which owns TurboTax, QuickBooks and other financial products, saw increased interest from readers over the week. 
Intuit recently reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42123997/intuit-shares-fall-after-q1-results-fy25-guidance-below-estimates"> first-quarter financial results, </a>which saw revenue and earnings per share beat analyst estimates.
While the report beat estimates, investors are becoming concerned about how the company's tax business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42073106/whats-going-on-with-intuit-shares-tuesday">could be impacted</a> by the new White House administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk, is looking to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes. The move, which could see more Americans file their taxes directly, could cut down on dependance for tax software like TurboTax. Intuit shares could fall further as more details of the plan come out.
Intuit stock was down on the week and shares are up 6% year-to-date in 2024.
