Reliance Worldwide Set for Tough 12 Months -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 19

2140 GMT - Plumbing fittings supplier Reliance Worldwide loses a bull in Citi, which thinks the market underestimates the impact of the rise in copper prices on the business. Copper is up 2.8% on the Comex exchange this year so far, and is 33% higher than a year ago. "Overall, the copper spike is fairly visible and not new news," analyst Samuel Seow says. "However, looking closer at what historically goes through the P&L, suggests Reliance Worldwide is in for a tough 12-month period." The structure of the industry favors customers in the U.S., Citi says. So, it believes the quantum and speed of potential price rises present a challenge to Reliance Worldwide. "As a result, we downgrade to neutral, as we expect both FY 2026 and FY 2027 consensus estimates are too high," Citi says. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
