Wrapping up Q1 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the home furnishings stocks, including Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK) and its peers.

A healthy housing market is good for furniture demand as more consumers are buying, renting, moving, and renovating. On the other hand, periods of economic weakness or high interest rates discourage home sales and can squelch demand. In addition, home furnishing companies must contend with shifting consumer preferences such as the growing propensity to buy goods online, including big things like mattresses and sofas that were once thought to be immune from e-commerce competition.

The 6 home furnishings stocks we track reported a satisfactory Q1. As a group, revenues along with next quarter’s revenue guidance were in line with analysts’ consensus estimates.

Thankfully, share prices of the companies have been resilient as they are up 6.7% on average since the latest earnings results.

Commenting on the Company’s first quarter, Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum stated, “In the first quarter, our sales were relatively flat on a constant basis, absorbing two fewer shipping days and year-over-year foreign exchange headwinds. The impact of missed sales and extraordinary costs from the new Flooring North America order system was within the expected range, and service has returned to historical rates. Our earnings performance primarily benefited from productivity gains, restructuring actions and a lower tax rate, which partially offset pricing pressure and higher input costs. During the quarter, we purchased 225,000 shares of stock for approximately $26 million.

Interestingly, the stock is up 5.3% since reporting and currently trades at $112.18.

Market Update

Thanks to the Fed’s series of rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has cooled significantly from its post-pandemic highs, drawing closer to the 2% goal. This disinflation has occurred without severely impacting economic growth, suggesting the success of a soft landing. The stock market thrived in 2024, spurred by recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November), and a notable surge followed Donald Trump’s presidential election win in November, propelling indices to historic highs. Nonetheless, the outlook for 2025 remains clouded by potential trade policy changes and corporate tax discussions, which could impact business confidence and growth. The path forward holds both optimism and caution as new policies take shape.
