Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

The price trend for Trex (TREX - Free Report) has been bearish lately and the stock has lost 8.9% over the past two weeks. However, the formation of a hammer chart pattern in its last trading session indicates that the stock could witness a trend reversal soon, as bulls might have gained significant control over the price to help it find support.

While the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of nearing a bottom with potential exhaustion of selling pressure, rising optimism among Wall Street analysts about the future earnings of this maker of fencing and decking products is a solid fundamental factor that enhances the prospects of a trend reversal for the stock.

What is a Hammer Chart and How to Trade It?This is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a 'hammer.'

In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day's close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.

When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.

Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.

Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.

Here's What Increases the Odds of a Turnaround for TREXThere has been an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions for TREX lately, which can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That's because a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.

The consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 5.7% over the last 30 days. This means that the Wall Street analysts covering TREX are majorly in agreement about the company's potential to report better earnings than what they predicted earlier.

If this is not enough, you should note that TREX currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which means it is in the top 5% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Q4 Earnings Suprise Could Offer Trex Stock a Path to RecoveryTrex NYSE: TREX said it is overhauling its distribution network by appointing Specialty Building Products, or SBP, as its sole national distributor by year-end while expanding its roster of regional distribution partners.

On a conference call to discuss the announcement, President and CEO Adam Zambanini said the move is intended to simplify Trex’s go-to-market model, improve execution and align the company with distributors that view Trex as their primary brand. As part of the changes, Trex is exiting Boise Cascade as a national distributor for decking and railing.

Tariff Fatigue? Look to These 3 Stocks for Upside“This isn’t about the past,” Zambanini said. “It’s about where the market is going and how we best position Trex for the future.”

SBP Named Sole National Distributor Zambanini said SBP’s acquisition of OrePac gave the company “genuine national scale” and positioned it to serve both the U.S. and Canada for Trex. He said SBP has grown from a $500 million company in 2016 to $4.5 billion in 2025 and has been Trex’s top distributor for national accounts and its fastest-growing distributor for home centers.

3 Stocks with Unusual Trading Volume During Market SelloffTrex also said it is expanding its regional distribution network to include Coastal Forest Products and BlueLinx, while broadening its existing footprint with WS Building Materials. Zambanini also listed International Wood Products, Weyerhaeuser, Taiga, Nicholson and Cates, Stella-Jones and Manufacturers Reserve Supply among the company’s regional distribution partners.

The company said the new network fully replaces Boise Cascade’s footprint with no loss of coverage and maintains coast-to-coast availability.

Company Expects Limited Operational Disruption Zambanini said Trex does not expect any material disruption to customer service, any material impact on margins or profitability, or any major restructuring or termination costs tied to the transition.

He said the transition is expected to be largely complete within 30 days, with new and expanded distribution partners receiving product, undergoing training and actively selling Trex by no later than mid-August. In some cases, he said, the process could be completed before the end of July.

“We have approached this transition with a high level of rigor to ensure a smooth and seamless execution,” Zambanini said.

During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Zambanini said Trex is moving back toward a dual-distribution model in many markets after previously having triple distribution in roughly half of its network. He said all distributors in the new lineup will be exclusive with Trex for decking and railing.

Preliminary Second-Quarter Results Top Guidance Senior Vice President and CFO Prith Gandhi said Trex’s preliminary second-quarter net sales were approximately $418 million, above the company’s prior expected range of $388 million to $403 million. Preliminary adjusted EBITDA was approximately $112 million.

Gandhi said the performance was driven by strong customer demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment and was broad-based across distribution channels and product lines. He said the quarter did not benefit from load-in purchases by new or expanded distribution partners.

Trex plans to provide more detail on its second-quarter results on its August 4, 2026, earnings call.

Guidance Raised for 2026 Trex raised its full-year 2026 outlook, citing its strong start to the year and continued execution. The company now expects revenue of $1.215 billion to $1.25 billion. It also raised its adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $330 million to $345 million, up from a prior range of $315 million to $340 million.

Gandhi said the financial impact of the distribution transition is expected to be “limited, manageable, and primarily timing-related.” He said Trex may see modest shipment timing shifts in the near term but does not expect changes to underlying demand or margins.

The company said it will incur some selling, general and administrative expenses related to training, merchandising and distributor onboarding. Gandhi described those costs as small and largely one-time in nature, adding that they are already contemplated in the updated guidance.

On inventory, Gandhi said channel inventory remains at low levels and any short-term adjustments as Boise sells through inventory are expected to be temporary and minimal. Zambanini added that Trex does not expect to build inventory to support the transition.

Management Emphasizes Long-Term Growth Strategy Zambanini framed the distribution changes as part of Trex’s broader strategy to optimize its channels for growth amid consolidation among distributors, larger national accounts and rising expectations for speed, service and product availability.

He said Trex wants to ensure it is the “preeminent brand” with each distributor and that its partners lead with Trex in their portfolios. He also said the new structure could give the company more flexibility as it seeks growth beyond decking and railing.

“Ultimately, this is about ensuring Trex is not just adapting to a changing channel, but leading that change,” Zambanini said.

Action Aligns With Trex’s Stated Long Term Strategic Priority to Optimize our Channels for Growth

Trex Expands with SBP, the Largest and Fastest Growing Distributor of Specialty Building Products in North America

Preliminary Second Quarter Revenue of Approximately $418M, Above Guidance Range

Raising Full Year 2026 Guidance

Trex Will Hold a Conference Call Today at 5:00pm EST

WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing and a leading brand of outdoor living products, today announced the realignment of its North American distribution network.

Specialty Building Products (SBP) will be Trex’s sole national distributor of decking and railing products across North America. In addition to SBP covering national distribution, Trex will also further expand its regional distribution footprint with WS Building Materials (formerly Snavely, Weekes, and Logan), Coastal Forest Products in New England and BlueLinx in the South Central region. These actions further align Trex’s distribution network with the number-one brand in decking and railing while streamlining access to products across key markets nationwide. As part of these distribution actions, Trex will transition away from Boise Cascade as a distributor of Trex products.

“Today’s announcement is a key step towards driving one of our five-stated priorities that define our path to long-term, durable profitable growth and increased shareholder value, namely - Optimize our Channels for Growth. The distribution channel has seen many changes over the last five years with significant consolidation of both distributors and dealers in the two-step channel. We expect the distribution landscape to continue evolving and are taking decisive proactive steps to ensure our products can best reach both the homeowner and the pro contractors across our geographies,” said Adam Zambanini, President and CEO of Trex Company.

“We shifted to SBP as our exclusive national distributor partner based on their dynamic service capabilities and relentless drive for long-term growth. SBP shares our vision for the future—from growth through innovation to the continued evolution of our distribution model,” said Zambanini. “With this expanded relationship, SBP will exclusively carry the breadth of Trex’s decking and railing products across its extensive distribution network.”

SBP is the largest and fastest growing distributor of specialty building products in North America. The company first began distributing Trex decking products in 2002 and has since become one of Trex’s largest and most impactful partners. With the acquisition of OrePac in 2025, SBP expanded its footprint to serve all of North America, providing Trex with unparalleled reach to consumers and contractors.

“This expansion of our relationship with Trex is a strategic milestone for SBP, further strengthening our alignment with Trex - the industry’s leading outdoor living brand,” said Jeff McLendon, CEO of Specialty Building Products. “Throughout our long, and highly successful relationship, Trex has consistently set the standard through innovation, market leadership, and execution. This strategic national distribution partnership builds on that strong foundation and positions us to accelerate our shared growth. Together with the Trex team, we are committed to an ambitious vision for expanding market share in this growing category while continuing to deliver exceptional value and service to our mutual customers.”

To further optimize its channel distribution network, Trex is also expanding its relationship with WS Building Materials, one of the largest regional distributors in the Midwest, MidAtlantic and southern United States. WS Building Materials will now support Trex across Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri.

“Over the past five years, WS Building Materials has consistently demonstrated that Trex is the number-one brand they want to represent,” said Zambanini. “They have steadily expanded Trex across their footprint and now distribute Trex products from all of their existing locations. WS Building Materials also has ambitious plans for continued growth, making them an ideal long-term distribution partner.”

“Trex has been a trusted, long-standing distribution partner to WS Building Materials, and we’re proud to expand that relationship through this expanded distribution alignment,” said Scott Gardner, President of WS Building Materials. “This next phase strengthens our ability to scale Trex’s industry-leading products across our network, expand into new markets, and deliver consistent, high-level service to our customers.”

Trex is also adding Coastal Forest Products as a regional distributor in New England supporting Trex throughout New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

“Coastal Forest Products has built a strong, respected brand throughout New England that complements the Trex brand extremely well,” said Zambanini. “This distribution relationship enhances our ability to serve dealers and contractors in the region as consumer demand for premium decking and railing continues to grow.”

“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Trex,” said Pike Severance, President of Coastal Forest Products. “Their success to date has been impressive, and we are taking a meaningful step forward for both organizations. By combining our strengths with their proven foundation, we’re well positioned to scale that success, unlock new opportunities, deepen our impact with customers, and help shape what comes next for the market.”

Finally, Trex is expanding its distribution network in the South Central Region with BlueLinx, further strengthening coverage and service levels in this important market. BlueLinx will distribute Trex in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia.

“We are excited to announce this new distribution agreement with BlueLinx,” said Zambanini. “Over the past two decades, they have established themselves as a major player within the South Central Region, and we are confident that adding their network of distribution in this important part of the country will continue to fuel Trex’s growth.”

"We appreciate the confidence that Trex has placed in BlueLinx to accelerate their growth strategy in the South Central Region," said Shyam Reddy, President and CEO of BlueLinx. "We are especially excited about offering Trex’s well-known specialty product lines to our customers in these fast-growing markets."

During the transition, Trex will work closely with all distribution partners to ensure uninterrupted product availability, including retail stocking and special orders through major home centers.

“Dual distribution in all major markets has been a key part of our winning strategy for several decades,” added Zambanini. “With SBP’s national coverage and our network of strong regional distribution partners, Trex will continue to be available from two of the top distributors wherever dealers, contractors, and consumers are making their purchase decisions.”

Q2 Results Above the High End of Range and Reiterate 2026 Guidance

“We anticipate second quarter sales to come in at approximately $418 million, above our guidance of $388 to $403 million with strong sell through driven by consumer demand across our channels and products. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $112 million. We are also increasing our full year guidance, shown in the table below, given our strong start to the year and continuing strong execution by the Trex team,” said Prith Gandhi, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

These preliminary results are estimates based on information available to management of Trex as of the date of this release and are subject to change upon completion of Trex’s standard closing procedures and review by its independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, there can be no assurance that Trex’s final results will not differ from these preliminary estimates. Trex has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because certain items required for such reconciliation are outside of Trex’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts. The probable significance of these items cannot be determined at this time.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes this non-GAAP financial measure also enhances investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP information is included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

Outdoor Living Leader Ranked #2 in Construction for Outstanding Customer, Employee and Investor Trust

WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trex Company [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative composite decking and railing and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, has been named to Newsweek’s list of the Most Trustworthy Companies in America 2026. The company was also previously recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2024, underscoring its ongoing commitment to corporate responsibility and transparency.

"At Trex, trust is at the core of everything we do, from the way we design and manufacture our products to how we support our customers, partners and employees."

Share Presented by Newsweek in partnership with Statista Inc., a leading global statistics portal and industry ranking provider, the Most Trustworthy Companies in America list recognizes U.S.-based companies that have earned strong trust among key stakeholders – specifically customers, employees and investors – based on independent research and public sentiment. The 2026 roster includes 700 companies across 23 industries. In the Construction category, which includes a broad range of organizations spanning contractors, manufacturers and building products providers, Trex ranked #2 out of the 15 recognized companies and is the only decking brand to earn a spot on the prestigious list.

This latest honor follows Trex being named America’s Most Trusted® Decking Brand^ for the sixth consecutive year, further reinforcing the company’s reputation for delivering reliable, high-quality products and maintaining strong relationships with its stakeholders.

“At Trex, trust is at the core of everything we do, from the way we design and manufacture our products to how we support our customers, partners and employees,” said Bryan Fairbanks, President and CEO of Trex Company. “Being recognized by Newsweek as one of the most trustworthy companies in America is a meaningful validation of our commitment to integrity, consistency and long-term performance.”

The Newsweek rankings are based on an independent survey of 25,000 U.S. residents, who submitted more than 101,000 evaluations of companies headquartered in the U.S. with annual revenues of at least $500 million. Participants assessed organizations across three key dimensions of trust:

Customer trust – fairness, product and service quality, complaint resolution and credibility of communications; Investor trust – long-term investment potential, corporate values and management competency; and Employee trust – workplace fairness, compensation, career development opportunities and overall employer attractiveness. In addition to survey data, the analyses incorporated a comprehensive social listening component, evaluating sentiment across a wide range of online sources, including news outlets, forums, social media platforms and press coverage.

“Earning the trust of our stakeholders requires a continuous focus on accountability, innovation and doing what’s right,” added Fairbanks. “We are proud to be recognized alongside other leading organizations and remain committed to building on this foundation of trust for years to come.”

WINCHESTER, Va., April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As communities nationwide prepare to celebrate Earth Day (April 22) and Arbor Day (April 24), Trex Company [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, is spotlighting the environmental impact that has defined Trex for more than three decades: transforming recycled and reclaimed materials into performance-engineered outdoor living products. Since its founding, the company has diverted more than 5.5 billion pounds of waste polyethylene (PE) plastic film from landfills and waterways, making it one of the largest recyclers of plastic film in North America.

Long before sustainability became a buzzword, Trex pioneered a solution for difficult-to-recycle PE plastic film by using it as a key material in its industry-leading decking. Today, Trex manufactures its high-performance deck boards using 95% recycled and reclaimed materials – a model that gives new life to more than 1 billion pounds of plastic and wood scrap each year.

“At Trex, sustainability isn’t a seasonal message; it’s the foundation of our business,” said Amy Fernandez, Chief Sustainability Officer for Trex Company. “Earth Day and Arbor Day provide meaningful opportunities to reflect on how far circularity has come, and how much more progress is possible when innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.”

Rethinking the Future of Plastic Film

At the heart of Trex’s sustainability strategy is the NexTrex® program, a nationwide material sourcing initiative that engages schools, nonprofits, municipalities, community groups, retailers, businesses and manufacturers in collecting PE film and upcycling it into durable and sustainable Trex composite decking. Because plastic film cannot be recycled in curbside bins with other recyclable materials like paper, cardboard and glass, the NexTrex program offers a simple way for consumers, companies and organizations to responsibly dispose of plastic film waste.

Today, the NexTrex program boasts more than 10,000 partners across three participation tiers: Grassroots, Community and Retail. Together, these dedicated partners contribute to the more than 370 million pounds of PE plastic recycled by Trex each year.

The NexTrex Grassroots Movement works together with eco-minded businesses, municipalities, educational institutions and other organizations to serve as drop-off locations where local community members can recycle plastic film. Partners are equipped with balers for bundling collected plastic film, and once 20-40 bales (roughly 20,000–40,000 pounds) are accumulated, Trex arranges pickup and transports the material to one of its three U.S. manufacturing facilities. Partners are compensated for the collected plastic, helping turn community waste into a viable revenue stream. Since its inception in 2022, the program has grown to include more than 100 partners, recycling more than 4 million pounds of PE film in 2025 alone.
The Community Recycling Challenge engages civic groups, houses of worship, scouting troops, K-12 schools, colleges/universities and more in plastic film collection. Participants weigh, record and deliver the plastic they’ve collected to be recycled for the chance to win prizes/gifts from Trex Company. In 2024 alone, more than 3,800 community groups participated, recycling more than 2.9 million pounds of PE film.
Through the Retail Recycling Program, Trex partners with grocery stores and major retailers to serve as convenient drop-off destinations for post-consumer plastic film. Retail partners are equipped with recycling bins for both everyday shoppers and participants in the Community Recycling Challenge to drop off their discarded plastic. Since 2024, the program has grown to include more than 10,000 retail stores across the country. From Waste to Wonder: Reclaimed Wood in Action

Reclaimed wood is the second key material in Trex’s high-performance composite decking. Trex never sources virgin timber to obtain wood, instead using wood scrap and sawdust from lumberyards, flooring makers, cabinet makers and other wood processing companies. Working closely with its reclaimed wood suppliers to understand the origins and certifications of the virgin timber they purchase, Trex estimates that 94% of the reclaimed wood it receives is from certified sustainable sources and agricultural waste.

Finding innovative material sources that benefit both the environment and real-world community challenges is an ongoing priority for Trex. For example, Trex’s production facility in Fernley, Nev., serves as a destination for orchard trees that have reached the end of their production life, providing a sustainable disposal solution for area farmers.

“Protecting natural resources isn’t just an aspiration, it’s a responsibility,” added Fernandez. “For more than 30 years, Trex has made recycling tangible by turning waste into something you can walk on, gather around and enjoy for decades. We hope consumers will join us by making small, meaningful choices that can add up to a lasting impact.”

In honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day, Trex is inviting Americans to take a simple step with a lasting impact by giving their household plastics a second life. These include everyday items such as grocery/retail bags, produce bags, sandwich bags, case overwrap, plastic wrap from paper towels and toilet paper, newspaper sleeves, dry cleaner bags, bubble wrap and flexible shipping pouches. A full list of qualifying materials can be found at NexTrex.com and collected plastics can be dropped off at any of the more than 10,000 partner locations nationwide, including Alaska and Hawaii. Find a drop-off location near you via the NexTrex Plastic Recycling Drop-off Directory and start making a difference today.

WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trex Company, Inc. [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative composite decking and railing, and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

Commenting on the quarter, Adam Zambanini, President and CEO, said, “We entered 2026 with strong momentum and a renewed sense of energy and excitement driving the entire organization forward. During the quarter, Trex delivered solid results driven primarily by positive performance in our premium decking portfolio and supported by recent shelf space wins in retail. The Company also delivered strong margins, reflecting product mix, operational efficiencies and cost discipline.”

“During the quarter, we began to take decisive actions aligned with our new long-term strategic priorities, positioning the Company to return to above-industry growth through unmatched innovation, enhanced execution, and renewed investment in our brand, marketing, and customer experience.

Long-Term Strategic Priorities

Trex recently launched five priorities to define a focused, durable path to long-term profitable growth and increased shareholder value:

Create an Unbreakable Bond with End Users: Deepen brand preference and loyalty across consumers, contractors, and pros through superior marketing, product experience, and service. Launch High‑Performance Innovation: Continue to expand Trex’s leadership in material science and performance through products that represent the next generation of outdoor living solutions. Optimize Channels for Growth: Strengthen distribution effectiveness and ensure Trex products are readily available across retail, dealer, and pro channels to drive above-market growth. Lower the Cost of Railing: Drive cost efficiencies and design advancements to enhance margin structure and accelerate share gains in this fast‑growing product line. Growth Enablement: Invest in the foundation – culture, technology, and talent – that powers sustainable growth. We’re strengthening our organization by aligning around accountability, upskilling for digital and commercial excellence, and fostering an innovation‑driven culture that empowers teams to act with speed and discipline. “As I noted last quarter, driving growth through innovation remains a key priority. Our recently launched PVC decking product is performing well, leading us to expand into geographies beyond our initial West Coast rollout. The fire-rated product category represents an attractive market opportunity, and we are committed to competing aggressively to capture share in this and other potential growth areas through unmatched product innovation.

“Our refined incentive and marketing programs have been very well received by our channel partners further strengthening these valued relationships. We also are excited about the next phase of our consumer- and pro-focused marketing campaign centered around our “Performance-Engineered for Your Life Outdoors™” brand platform, which launched in May 2025. As we move forward, the Trex brand and our value proposition will become increasingly visible and strategically positioned, with the impact of these programs further enhanced by our investment in digital tools. In the first quarter our digital metrics showed consistent growth across key leading indicators, with high‑intent behaviors meaningfully outpacing overall traffic, signaling more deliberate consumer engagement,” noted Mr. Zambanini.

Q1 2026 Financial Summary

All financial results comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted:

Net sales were $343 million compared to $340 million, an increase of 1%, due to positive price/mix in the quarter.

Gross profit was $139 million with gross margin of 40.5%, compared to gross profit of $138 million and gross margin of 40.5%. There were no adjustments to this year’s gross profit while last year’s adjusted gross profit, which excluded railing conversion costs of approximately $4 million, was $142 million. A favorable mix of higher margin premium decking boards and margin improvement from continued operational excellence programs helped to offset a $4M increase in depreciation expenses related to our Little Rock production facility. The Company experienced no impact on gross margins related to increased oil prices during the quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $56 million, representing 16.2% of net sales, compared to $56 million, or 16.5% of net sales in the prior year. Excluding digital transformation costs and Arkansas facility start-up expenses of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, SG&A was $54 million and $55 million, respectively. The Company continued to increase its investment in branding and marketing programs to drive future growth. Other expenses, including personnel and healthcare related expenses, were lower than expected due to cost containment and timing.

Net income was $61 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $60 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $62 million, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.59, compared to adjusted net income of $64 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.60.

Adjusted EBITDA of $103 million compared favorably to an adjusted EBITDA of $101 million in the prior year.

Free cash flow was ($143) million, a 39% improvement from last year, reflecting effective management of working capital and lower capital expenditures as we finish the new Little Rock facility.

During the quarter, the Company authorized significant share repurchase programs including a $100 million ASR program and $50 million of additional discretionary repurchases as part of an existing share repurchase authorization. The Company intends to complete the $150 million repurchase program in the second quarter. Share repurchases remain a key aspect of the Company’s capital allocation strategy.

New Developments & Recognitions

Launched Refuge™ Decking, an ignition resistant PVC decking line, across select markets in the West, New England and Mid-Atlantic. Named Green Builder Media’s Sustainable Brand leader in the decking category for the 16th consecutive year. Trex® Refuge™ was also selected by Green Builder editors as one of the most sustainable products of the year for 2026. Named One of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies.

Named America’s Most Trusted® Outdoor Decking for sixth consecutive year, according to a nationwide study by Lifestory Research. Trex Innovation Earned Top Industry and Global Design Honors. Trex Select® Decking and Signature® X-Series™ Railing recognized for performance and versatility. Summary & Outlook

“We continue to anticipate the overall R&R market to be down to flat this year and are closely monitoring any impact on consumer confidence from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. First quarter financial results were consistent with the cadence we anticipated for the year, with the typical seasonality of the business reflected in both revenue and margins. Additionally, the first quarter reflects continued execution on our commitment to returning capital to shareholders,” said Prith Gandhi, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Based on current visibility, the Company is reaffirming its full year 2026 guidance, shown in the table below, with revenue ranging from $1.185 billion to $1.23 billion and adjusted EBITDA ranging from $315 million to $340 million. The Company also provided second quarter revenue guidance in the range of $388 to $403 million.

The Company expects robust free cash flow generation this year, supported by a meaningful reduction in capital expenditures relative to 2025, as the peak investment phase of the Arkansas campus build-out transitions to an operational phase. Capital expenditure guidance for 2026 is $100 million to $120 million, down from $224 million in 2025. As construction winds down, The Company expects another meaningful increase in free cash flow in 2027 and beyond as capital expenditures return to maintenance levels of roughly 5 to 6% of revenue.

In addition to the execution of its $150 million share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized a 10 million share increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase program, bringing the total potential shares available for repurchase to approximately 13% of Trex’s outstanding shares at the end of the quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements reported on a GAAP basis, we provide the following non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors’ ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.

What this transaction means for investorsKanen Wealth Management, a Florida-based investment advisory firm, recently disclosed the sale of approximately 250,000 shares of Trex stock, valued at approximately $10.1 million, during the first quarter (the three months ended March 31, 2026). Here are some key takeaways for investors.

To begin, Trex is a home improvement stock within the industrials sector. Trex stock tends to be highly sensitive to the health of the real estate market, since many of its products fall into the repair-and-remodel market for existing homes.

Consequently, Trex stock has suffered some ups and downs over the last few years. Overall, the stock has declined by 32% over the last three years, lagging the broader market.

However, in its most recent earnings report, the company surpassed expectations, reporting quarterly revenue of $343 million. In addition, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.59/share, topping most forecasts.

Finally, the stock is trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.5x, well below its 10-year average of 6.7x. This could make the stock appealing to investors seeking some exposure to the sector.

On May 19, 2026, Trex Co Inc (TREX) shares fell 5.1% today, trading at $36.24. The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week range of $29.77
