Summary
- MHK is addressing concerns about macro-weaknesses and focusing on restructuring and productivity initiatives to improve margins.
- Revenue growth and margins have been weaker year-over-year, primarily due to lower sales volume, a weaker price and product mix, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
- Inflationary pressure has led to rising interest rates and decreased discretionary spending, which has impacted home construction and residential remodeling.
- As inflation cools, the ECB signals its intention to cut rates in June, potentially driving up demand in Europe.
- MHK is underperforming against its peers in terms of growth outlook and net margin. For now, I will recommend a hold rating.
