UFP Industries Q2 net sales fall 7% to $1.9 billion; earnings down 16%
UFP Industries reported second quarter 2024 net sales of $1.9 billion, down 7% from a year earlier, as selling prices fell 6% and organic unit sales fell 1%. Net earnings attributable to controlling interest were $126 million, down 16%, and diluted EPS was $2.05 versus $2.36, while the company revised its outlook for the rest of 2024 to expect lower demand in Retail and Packaging.
