The Black Bear Value Fund released its Q4 2025 investor letter, affirming its long-term thesis for Builders FirstSource (BLDR) despite a 28% decline in the stock during 2025 due to a weak housing market. The fund projects significant free cash flow for BLDR in 2025, translating to a 7-9% trailing yield, and believes the company’s shift to value-added services and the structural housing shortage in the U.S. will drive future growth.
