Ferguson's U.S. Sales Jump 7% in Q4: What's Powering Its Growth?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Ferguson's U.S. business grew 7% in Q4 FY25, led by strong non-residential market performance.
Non-residential revenues jumped 15%, driven by waterworks and commercial infrastructure projects.
FERG completed four acquisitions in Q4, adding about 1% to U.S. business sales growth.
Ferguson Enterprises Inc. (FERG - Free Report) is benefiting from the strength in its U.S. business, driven by solid demand in the non-residential markets. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended July 2025), the company’s revenues from the non-residential markets jumped 15% year over year, which accounted for half of its U.S. business’ revenues. The surge in revenues was fueled by solid momentum in waterworks projects and commercial & civil infrastructure markets, with strength across large capital projects.
It's worth noting that revenues from the company’s waterworks and commercial & mechanical markets surged 15% and 21%, respectively. This uptick significantly benefited Ferguson’s U.S. business, which reported a 7% year-over-year revenue increase in the fiscal fourth quarter. However, soft repair, maintenance and improvement work across residential end markets partially offset this strength.
Ferguson has also been strengthening its business through strategic buyouts. For instance, FERG completed four acquisitions during the fiscal fourth quarter, which included Ritchie Environmental Solutions, HPS Specialties, Manufactured Duct & Supply Company and Water Resources. Acquisitions had a contribution of approximately 1% to the U.S. business’ sales in the fiscal fourth quarter.
