GRIFFON CORP
Next earnings Aug 4, 2026 (before open) · consensus $1.39 EPS, $463M rev
Last earnings -2.1% on 2026-05-07
Cash-generative Clopay franchise masked by $243.6M Hunter Fan impairment and razor-thin equity — fair price, not a screaming buy.
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~91% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
The headline P/E of 87x is misleading. FY2025 net income of $51.1M absorbed a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $136.6M on Hunter Fan goodwill plus $107M on the Hunter Fan trademark, both disclosed in MD&A as driven by 'ongoing weak consumer demand coupled with the impact of increased tariffs disrupting historical customer ordering patterns.' Strip those out and the underlying business is materially profitable: gross margin actually expanded to 42.0% from 38.9%, and operating cash flow held at $357M (only -5.9% YoY) while capex fell to $52.4M, yielding ~$305M of free cash. Management deployed $183M into buybacks and $39.7M into dividends — clearly the operators believe the cash engine is intact.
