In a move reflecting confidence in the infrastructure sector's resilience, Core & Main has reaffirmed its net sales outlook for fiscal year 2026, projected to range between $7.8 billion and $7.9 billion. The company is targeting the opening of 8 to 10 new greenfield locations as a core component of its operational growth strategy. According to reports, these targets were disclosed during the fiscal Q4 2025 earnings cycle to provide clarity on long-term expansion plans.
This guidance reaffirmation comes as the waterworks distribution industry sees steady activity, with peers like Ferguson PLC maintaining similar growth trajectories in municipal infrastructure. Seeking Alpha reports indicate that Core & Main's focus on greenfield sites is intended to capture market share in high-growth regions. Per market data, the company's ability to maintain these sales targets depends on stabilizing material costs and continued federal infrastructure spending.
