Deep Analysis

Builders FirstSource’s gross margin of 28.3% means that for every dollar of revenue, the company keeps $0.283 after paying the direct costs to produce its building materials.

This figure sits slightly below the Industrials sector median of 29.0%, placing the company at the 43rd percentile among its peers — meaning 57% of competitors have a higher gross margin. Trend data is unavailable: the year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and the direction over the last eight quarters are all listed as N/A. Because the current gross margin is near the sector median but no trend information exists to show whether it is improving or declining, the data neither signals a clear opportunity nor a heightened risk. This metric aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as the level is unremarkable relative to peers and the absence of trend prevents any directional assessment.
