HNI Corp's stock plummeted 7.09% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the release of its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 financial results.
The company reported Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.83, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.91 and represented a 4.6% decrease from the $0.87 reported in the same period last year. While Q4 sales of $888.4 million beat estimates, the earnings disappointment and a reported GAAP diluted EPS loss of $0.94 for the quarter weighed on investor sentiment.
Further pressure came from the company's guidance, which indicated that non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to decrease slightly from 2025 levels. The company cited temporary first-quarter earnings pressure driven by revenue timing and increased investment as contributing factors to the expected decline.
