Track record is strong.

Since August 2021 the company has repurchased about 99.3 million shares (~48% of shares outstanding) for roughly 8.0 billion, while keeping net leverage around 2.0–2.3x and continuing targeted M&A to expand value‑added manufacturing and millwork. 2024 buybacks totaled ~1.5 billion; in April–June 2025, an additional ~391 million was repurchased; a new 500 million authorization remains.

Management has articulated priorities that balance organic capacity, digital investments, tuck‑ins and opportunistic repurchases. The 2021 Paradigm software acquisition seeded the digital strategy; 2024 tuck‑ins broadened truss and millwork capabilities.

The main caution is that repurchases in strong years can occur at higher valuations; nonetheless, cumulative per‑share value creation has been compelling.
