Shares of Fortune Brands Innovation tumbled after logging fourth-quarter adjusted earnings and sales that underperformed Wall Street expectations.

The stock dropped 19% to $50.76 in Friday morning trading. The shares have retreated 25% in the past year.

The building products company posted a fourth-quarter net income of $76.4 million, or 63 cents a share, compared with $105.1 million, or 84 cents a share, a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings came in at 86 cents a share, missing the 99 cents that analysts polled by FactSet had predicted.

Sales fell 2% to $1.08 billion, below Wall Street's forecast of $1.14 billion, according to FactSet.

For 2026, the company guided for full-year adjusted earnings of $3.35 to $3.65 a share on flat to 2% sales growth. Analysts polled by FactSet forecast adjusted earnings per-share of $3.81 on sales of $4.56 billion. The sales estimate represents expected growth of around 2.1% compared with the year prior.

Fortune Brands said the outlook reflects continued macroeconomic uncertainty as the company focuses on outperforming its end markets and executing initiatives to drive long-term margin improvements.

The company also named Amit Banati chief executive, effective May 13. Banati will succeed Nicholas Fink, who will depart after six years in the role.
