GMS (GMS) Reports Q4 Earnings: What Key Metrics Have to Say
Read MoreHide Full Article
GMS (GMS - Free Report) reported $1.33 billion in revenue for the quarter ended April 2025, representing a year-over-year decline of 5.6%. EPS of $1.29 for the same period compares to $1.93 a year ago.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +2.81% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.3 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.15, the EPS surprise was +12.17%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how GMS performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Organic net sales - Wallboard: -12.5% versus -15.3% estimated by two analysts on average.
Organic net sales - Ceilings: 2.9% compared to the -0.9% average estimate based on two analysts.
Organic net sales: -9.7% compared to the -11.5% average estimate based on two analysts.
Organic net sales - Other product/Complementary products: -7.3% versus -4.1% estimated by two analysts on average.
Organic net sales - Steel framing: -17.9% versus the two-analyst average estimate of -23.4%.
Shares of GMS have returned -2.7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.6% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
