Core & Main's Drop Is A Great Chance To Dive In (Upgrade)
Core & Main is upgraded from ‘hold' to a soft ‘buy' after shares fell, making the stock attractively valued both absolutely and relative to peers. CNM maintained guidance for FY2026, projecting revenue of $7.8–$7.9B and EBITDA of $950–$980M, signaling management confidence despite recent earnings misses. Growth was driven by fire protection products and acquisitions, while smart utility and storm drainage segments faced short-term headwinds and tepid performance.

Core & Main: Buy Before Growth Accelerates
Core & Main is initiated with a Buy rating and a $62 price target, implying 35.6% upside as growth trends improve. Recent underperformance stems from sluggish revenue growth, particularly in the PVF segment, but easier comps and segment rebounds are expected to drive sequential acceleration. CNM's diversified product mix, strong M&A track record, and disciplined pricing position the company for margin expansion and potential multiple rerating.
