Hillman Solutions Corp. (HLMN) experienced a significant pre-market plunge of 19.38% on Tuesday following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results and 2026 guidance.
The company reported Q4 net sales of $365.1 million, which missed analyst estimates of $371.4 million. While adjusted earnings per share of $0.10 met expectations and adjusted EBITDA of $57.5 million slightly exceeded estimates, investors reacted negatively to the top-line shortfall.
Further pressure came from the company's 2026 sales guidance, which projects net sales between $1.60 billion and $1.70 billion. The midpoint of this range ($1.65 billion) falls below the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.68 billion, raising concerns about future growth prospects despite management's commentary on successful tariff management and strategic investments.
