• Simpson Strong-Tie is the code-specified leader in wood connectors and fasteners, a franchise that let it raise price enough to grow first-quarter sales about 9% even as volume slipped roughly 1% on softer housing starts. • The biggest risk is valuation: at about 22 times trailing earnings, only the growth-DCF reaches the price, while the earnings-power methods land at less than half of it, so the stock is a durability premium exposed to a de-rating if housing keeps cooling. • Watch 2026 U.S.
