Risks
Demand is cyclical and depends on consumer confidence, housing activity, and construction spending, so order patterns can weaken quickly when end markets soften. The company also faces customer concentration, retailer inventory swings, commodity and input-cost pressure, and integration or valuation risk from acquisitions and joint ventures.
