Trex Company Inc. reported a second-quarter earnings per share of $0.02, slightly surpassing analyst expectations, but fell short on revenue, leading to a downward revision of its guidance for the third quarter and full fiscal year 2024.

This marks a continued trend of lowered expectations, as Trex has adjusted its revenue guidance downward for the second half of the year for three consecutive years. The company’s stock has reacted negatively to these developments, with shares plummeting over 20%, marking one of the worst trading days for Trex in nearly two decades.
