Quanex Building Products Corporation (NX)

In December 2025, Quanex announced its Q4 and full-year 2025 results, reporting a net loss for the full year but exceeding Q4 EPS forecasts, leading to a stock surge. Operational challenges at the Monterrey plant negatively impacted Q4 EBITDA. The company repurchased shares. In September 2025, an earnings report showing strong sales but a large goodwill-impairment-driven loss caused shares to fall. In June 2025, Quanex announced its Q2 2025 results, with net sales up due to the Tyman acquisition, leading to a positive market reaction. In March 2025, Quanex reported a net loss for Q1 2025, with net sales increasing due to the Tyman acquisition, but North American Fenestration sales decreased.

Quanex Building Products Corp. experiences demand seasonality, particularly in its window and door segments, with an uptick expected in the second half of the fiscal year. Harsh winter weather impacted the window and door market in Q1 2025. The cabinet segment tends to lead in both declines and improvements, experiencing an earlier hit and recovery cycle.
