Black Bear Value highlighted Builders FirstSource, noting a roughly 9% Q2 gain but a 13% year-to-date decline amid weak housing demand. The firm expects 2026 free cash flow of $500–800 million (a 5–9% FCF yield) and cites the company’s shift toward higher‑value products—now over 40% of revenue—as improving margins and resilience. Shares have fallen about 42% over the past 52 weeks, while the fund remains optimistic on long‑term cash generation and capital returns. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
