TopBuild Corp (BLD) is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this moment. While there is potential for growth in the long term, the current financial performance, hedge fund selling trends, and lack of strong trading signals suggest it is better to wait for more favorable conditions or stronger catalysts before investing.
The stock shows a mixed technical picture. While the MACD is positive and contracting, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), the RSI is neutral at 47.55, indicating no clear momentum. The price is currently below the pivot level of 526.369, with support at 499.435 and resistance at 553.303. This suggests limited immediate upside potential.
Analysts have recently raised price targets significantly (e.g., Seaport Research to $620 and Wells Fargo to $600), reflecting optimism about the company's potential despite challenges in the housing market. Additionally, the stock has a 4.66% chance of increasing in the next month based on historical patterns.
Hedge funds are aggressively selling the stock, with a 2972.24% increase in selling over the last quarter. Financial performance for Q3 2025 shows declining net income (-15.82% YoY), EPS (-10.80% YoY), and gross margin (-2.08% YoY), which may weigh on investor sentiment. Options data also reflects bearish sentiment.
In Q3 2025, revenue increased slightly by 1.45% YoY to $1.39B, but net income dropped significantly by 15.82% YoY to $142.23M. EPS also declined by 10.80% YoY to 5.04, and gross margin contracted by 2.08% YoY to 30.08%. These metrics indicate weakening profitability and efficiency.
Analysts remain optimistic, with recent upgrades in price targets (e.g., Seaport Research to $620 and Wells Fargo to $600) and buy/overweight ratings. However, they acknowledge challenges in the housing market and prefer companies with pricing power in the current environment.
