Shares of architectural products company Apogee (NASDAQ:APOG) fell 12.7% in the afternoon session after it reported disappointing fourth-quarter 2025 results and issued a weak financial outlook for the upcoming year. For the quarter, while adjusted earnings of $1.02 per share narrowly beat analyst expectations, revenue of $348.6 million fell short of estimates. The company's profitability was squeezed, with its operating margin falling to 7.1% from 10.3% in the same quarter last year, reflecting what the company described as a more competitive environment and higher input costs.
Compounding the weak results, management's forecast for the full year also fell short of Wall Street's projections. The company's full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance of $3.45 at the midpoint missed analyst estimates by 6%, and its revenue outlook of $1.39 billion was also below expectations. Overall, the combination of a revenue miss and a disappointing forward-looking forecast soured investor sentiment.
