UBS Maintains Buy on Advanced Drainage Systems, Lowers Price Target to $146

Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMS#NYSE">WMS</a>) reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results and issued FY26 sales guidance below <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WMS/earnings">estimates on Thursday</a>.
Advanced Drainage Systems reported quarterly earnings of $1.03 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.10 per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $615.76 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $653.22 million.
Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS, said, &#8220;In Fiscal 2025, domestic construction market sales increased 3% as we continued to drive above market performance through our material conversion strategy in the stormwater and onsite wastewater markets. Importantly, organic sales in our most profitable segments, Infiltrator and Allied Products, increased 4.6% and 2.5%, respectively, and the onsite wastewater and Allied products now represent a collective 44% of revenue. The resiliency demonstrated by this year&#8217;s 30.6% Adjusted EBITDA margin is due in part to our strategy to grow these more profitable products to be a higher mix of the overall sales.&#8221;
Advanced Drainage Systems said it sees FY2026 sales of $2.825 billion to $2.975 billion, versus market estimates of $3.07 billion.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.
