Ferguson Enterprises Inc. /DE/
Last earnings -3.1% on 2026-05-05
High-quality, cash-generative plumbing/HVAC distributor compounding via buybacks — but a full 25.6x P/E on low-single-digit growth caps the upside.

Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~29% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Ferguson is a best-in-class value-added distributor with genuinely strong returns: 31.8% ROE, 30.7% gross margin (up from 30.5%), $1.91B operating cash flow against just $305M capex (~$1.6B free cash), and a disciplined capital-return program that bought back $948M of stock and shrank the share count 2.3%, lifting diluted EPS 9.3% to $9.32 even as net income rose a more modest 7%. The balance sheet is sound — $3.75B long-term debt is roughly flat YoY, current assets ($10.1B) comfortably cover current liabilities ($6.03B) at 1.67x, and liabilities/equity of 2.04x is unremarkable for a working-capital-heavy distributor. This is a durable, well-run business, not a turnaround.
