Trex Company Inc has seen a notable increase in its stock price, rising by 6.29% as it reached a 5-day high. This movement comes amidst a market environment where major benchmarks are trading sideways, indicating a lack of clear directional trends.
Despite the positive movement, Trex has been under scrutiny due to recent investigations related to potential violations of federal securities laws. These investigations were prompted by disappointing financial results reported for Q3 2025, which included a 12% decline in net income per share.
The ongoing investigations by various law firms highlight the challenges Trex faces, as they seek to determine if the company misled investors regarding its financial health and sales practices. Investors are encouraged to reach out to legal firms if they have suffered losses.
While the investigations may cast a shadow over the company, the recent stock price increase suggests that some investors may be optimistic about a potential turnaround or recovery in the company's performance.
Wall Street analysts forecast TREX stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for TREX is 43.56 USD with a low forecast of 32.00 USD and a high forecast of 57.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Jefferies upgraded Trex Company to Buy from Hold with a price target of $42, up from $39. The firm says that with the residential market expected to remain soft to start 2026, it prefers consumer-facing companies that have pricing power and are trading at discounted multiples. Trex shares are trading at a discount to its historical multiple, and the recent pullback has created an attractive entry point in a secular growth name, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies adds that while the company has seen increased competition, its step-up in programming spend has resonated with the channel and should allow Trex to take share from tertiary brands.
