Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Beacon Roofing Supply stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Beacon Roofing Supply expects revenues to grow in the range of 6–9% year over year in fiscal 2017 and adjusted earnings per share to be around $2.34. The company will continue to focus on revenue growth, both organically and through acquisitions while improving margins and operating expense leverage in fiscal 2017. Further, it will benefit from roofing and re-roofing demand. However, the timing of these replacement decisions can vary due to economic factors and weather conditions. The company’s performance will be hurt by seasonality in business and low asphalt shingle demand. Beacon Roofing has underperformed the Zacks sub-industry’s growth in the past one year." (7/18/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "BECN reported an in-line quarter, with strong results in Resi, but visibility in Commercial remains limited. That said, mgmt's outlook remains unchanged and reiterated its guidance for FY. With that said, shares are trading at a fair value and facing more difficult comps this year, making it more challenging for the stock to outperform in a meaningful way and we remain comfortable with our Hold rating."
