Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 49 days.
The thesis — published November 18, 2025
Results on 11/17 were better than expected, and the company raised its FY26 outlook. On 11/18, new leaders were named, which should help execution. A class action in the news adds uncertainty. The stock looks beaten down, so if more buyers step in, it could bounce. Home repair and remodeling demand should help steady results, so shares may move back toward earlier levels in the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Recent results beat forecasts and the FY26 outlook was raised
- New Chair and CFO should improve focus and follow-through on plans
- Share price looks washed out, making a short-term rebound more likely
- Lawsuit news could create negative headlines and shake investor nerves
