Event summary
- Capstone's organic distribution revenue grew 7% YoY in Q2 2026 despite an 8.5% decline in new-construction building-products spending.
- The company outperformed the market in both Q1 and Q2 2026, maintaining revenue in Q1 and accelerating growth in Q2.
- Capstone's growth model leverages existing customer base, distribution network, and operating infrastructure without proportionate cost increases.
- Current order volumes suggest continued strong organic growth in the second half of 2026.
- Capstone reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance of $72.1 million in revenue and $3.8 million in Stone Business Adjusted EBITDA.
The big picture
Capstone's ability to deliver organic growth in a declining market highlights its strategic advantage in leveraging existing infrastructure and customer base. The company's capital-efficient model positions it well to capitalize on any normalization in construction and remodeling activity. With a national footprint across 38 U.S. states and Canada, Capstone is well-positioned to drive scalable margin expansion and operating leverage as market conditions improve.
