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.

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.
