Acuity Brands Inc.: Stay Bullish As Growth Should Turn Better
I maintain a buy rating on Acuity Brands Inc. due to strong growth prospects in both ABL and ISG segments, supported by positive demand indicators. 1Q25 results showed 2% y/y revenue growth to $952 million, driven by ABL's stable performance and ISG's 15% y/y growth, with notable margin expansion. Easing interest rates and a robust non-residential construction pipeline, evidenced by the Dodge Momentum Index, bolster ABL's growth outlook for FY25.
