Hillman Solutions Corp stock hits 52-week low at $6.96
Hillman Solutions Corp (HLMN) stock hit a 52-week low of $6.96, down 29.49% over the past year. Despite this, the company reported Q2 earnings of $0.17 per share, meeting estimates, and revenue of $442.3 million, exceeding forecasts. Hillman also raised its full-year outlook and announced a $315 million acquisition to expand its industrial business. The stock's market cap is $1.36 billion, and InvestingPro data suggests potential undervaluation.
