Earnings season this quarter has been a wild ride with plenty of big winners and losers. Yesterday, Builders FirstSource (BLDR), manufacturer and supplier of building materials, announced earnings and then proceeded to fall by almost 20%. BLDR beat its EPS estimate but revenue was flat from last year. The biggest concern from BLDR came from the slowdown in multifamily sales, down 13.4% as the rental market has softened. Single-family sales, a much larger part of BLDR’s business, rose by 4.3% but it wasn’t enough to alleviate the issues in multi-family (SeekingAlpha). The single-day decline sent the stock down from a perfect 5 for 5’er to a poor 2 for 5’er.

Despite falling almost 20%, BLDR has a year-to-date return of -2.59% and a rolling one-year return of 46.18%. BLDR shares sit in heavily oversold territory with a weekly overbought/oversold reading of -96%. On the bright side, BLDR has support at $156 after falling to $160. With some support intact and heavily oversold readings, BLDR could bounce from here. However, the stock’s poor tech attribute makes it worth avoiding new long exposure.
