Hillman Solutions Corp. Just Missed Earnings - But Analysts Have Updated Their Models
See our latest analysis for Hillman Solutions
After the latest results, the eight analysts covering Hillman Solutions are now predicting revenues of US$1.53b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a credible 4.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to surge 145% to US$0.21. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$1.54b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.23 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a small dip in their earnings per share forecasts.
The consensus price target held steady at US$13.28, with the analysts seemingly voting that their lower forecast earnings are not expected to lead to a lower stock price in the foreseeable future. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on Hillman Solutions, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$16.00 and the most bearish at US$11.00 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting Hillman Solutions' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 4.1% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 2.6% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 3.4% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Hillman Solutions is expected to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Hillman Solutions. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$13.28, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have estimates - from multiple Hillman Solutions analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.

Trump's former jobs data chief decries firing of successor
(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump's firing of the chief labor statistician was criticized by her predecessor, who called it an unfounded move that will undermine confidence in a key data set on the US economy. We Should All Be Biking Along the Beach Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole NYC Mayor Adams Gives Bally's Bronx Casino Plan a Second Chance 'This is damaging,' William Beach, whom Trump picked in his first term to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. Trump on Friday fired Erika McEntarfer hours after labor market data showed weak jobs growth based in part on steep downward revisions for May and June. The move by Trump, who claimed the latest monthly report was 'phony,' prompted an outcry from economists and lawmakers. 'I don't know that there's any grounds at all for this firing,' said Beach, whom McEntarfer replaced in January 2024. 'And it really hurts the statistical system. It undermines credibility in BLS.' Studies indicate that the agency's data is more accurate than 20 or 30 years ago, including any revisions of the initial data, Beach said. Even so, he said he'll trust future BLS data because people working for the agency are 'some of the most loyal Americans you can imagine,' making the bureau 'the finest statistical agency in the entire world.' Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, speaking Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, urged the US government to improve its data collection to avoid revisions that engender distrust. 'We watch what consumers really do. We watch what businesses really do,' Moynihan said, while not addressing the politics of the firing. 'They can get this data, I think, other ways, and I think that's where the focus would be.' He noted the revision for May and June data, while not unusual, was one of the largest in seven years. 'That creates doubt around it,' he said. 'Let's spend some money. Let's bring the information together. Let's find where else in the government money is reported.' McEntarfer was confirmed by the Senate in a bipartisan 86-8 vote. Vice President JD Vance, then a senator, voted to approve her nomination. Kevin Hassett, Trump's chief economic adviser at the White House, alleged that the large jobs data revisions were poorly explained and were evidence enough for a 'fresh set of eyes' at BLS. He sought to contradict Beach's portrayal of the agency as politically neutral. 'The bottom line is that there were people involved in creating these numbers,' Hassett said on NBC's Meet the Press. Pressed on whether Trump would fire anyone offering data he disagreed with, Hassett, who heads the National Economic Council, disagreed. 'No, absolutely not,' he said. 'The president wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable.'

US trade advisor says Trump tariff rates unlikely to change
New US tariff rates are "pretty much set" with little immediate room for negotiation, Donald Trump's trade advisor said in remarks aired Sunday, also defending the president's politically driven levies against Brazil. Trump, who has wielded tariffs as a tool of American economic might, has set tariff rates for dozens of economies including the European Union at between 10 and 41 percent come August 7, his new hard deadline for the duties. In a pre-taped interview broadcast Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said "the coming days" are not likely to see changes in the tariff rates. "A lot of these are set rates pursuant to deals. Some of these deals are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or surplus we may have with the country," Greer said. "These tariff rates are pretty much set." Undoubtedly some trade ministers "want to talk more and see how they can work in a different way with the United States," he added. But "we're seeing truly the contours of the president's tariff plan right now with these rates." Last Thursday, the former real estate developer announced hiked tariff rates on dozens of US trade partners. They will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline. Among the countries facing steep new levies is Brazil. South America's largest economy is being hit with 50 percent tariffs on exports to the United States -- albeit with significant exemptions for key products such as aircraft and orange juice. Trump has openly admitted he is punishing Brazil for prosecuting his political ally Jair Bolsonaro, the ex-president accused of plotting a coup in a bid to cling to power. The US president has described the case as a "witch hunt." Greer said it was not unusual for Trump to use tariff tools for geopolitical purposes. "The president has seen in Brazil, like he's seen in other countries, a misuse of law, a misuse of democracy," Greer told CBS. "It is normal to use these tools for geopolitical issues." Trump was "elected to assess the foreign affairs situation... and take appropriate action," he added. Meanwhile White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said that while talks are expected to continue over the next week with some US trade partners, he concurred with Greer's tariffs assessment in that the bulk of the rates "are more or less locked in." Asked by the host of NBC's Sunday talk show "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" if Trump could change tariff rates should financial markets react negatively, Hassett said: "I would rule it out, because these are the final deals." Legal challenges have been filed against some of Trump's tariffs arguing he overstepped his authority. An appeals court panel on Thursday appeared skeptical of the government's arguments, though the case may be ultimately decided at the Supreme Court. mlm/des Sign in to access your portfolio

Trump Fires Labor Stats Chief after July Jobs Miss and Revisions Hit Market
President Donald Trump removed Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner (BLS) Erika McEntarfer on Friday, after the agency reported July job growth came in far below forecasts. The BLS posted an increase of 73,000 nonfarm payrolls for the month, missing expectations and triggering a sharp market reaction.

The president announced the decision on Truth Social. He claimed the commissioner, appointed in 2024 under President Joe Biden, had produced flawed data. Trump alleged the report was manipulated to harm the economy's perceived strength. However, no official evidence supports this claim. Until a replacement is confirmed, Deputy Commissioner William Wiatrowski will serve as acting head of the agency. Powell in Trump's Crosshairs In the same post, Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He called for Powell's removal, citing interest rate decisions that, in his view, counteracted the broader economic policy. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee voted to hold the benchmark rate steady. Markets have now priced in a strong chance of a rate cut in September. The BLS also revised May and June job totals lower by a combined 258,000. That brought the three-month average to 35,000, the weakest stretch since April 2020. Economists note revisions are standard and reflect updated data, not political bias. Markets moved lower after the release. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell over 500 points. The Nasdaq dropped more than 2%. Treasury yields declined as traders adjusted rate expectations. Data Integrity in Focus Critics of the decision include William Beach, a 2017 Trump appointee and former BLS chief. He said the move threatens the agency's independence and the reliability of federal data. Multiple public sector groups have raised similar concerns. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is part of the Department of Labor and provides key reports on jobs, inflation, and productivity. Its data is used by investors, businesses, and policymakers. The White House has promoted prior reports as signs of labor strength. Following the June numbers, it called the figures a 'June Boom.' Trump has frequently highlighted payroll gains while in office. The latest report, along with the firing, raises new focus on how economic data is produced and viewed during the 2025 election cycle.
