Thesis
Trex is the pioneer in composite decking, offering a sustainable alternative to wood decks. The company has a strong market position with approximately 50% market share, growing organically at a double-digit rate, and earning high operating margins. With no debt and significant free cash flow, Trex is well-poised for continued growth in a market shifting towards composite materials.
Did it work?
failed
confidence: high
The long thesis for Trex was based on its strong market position, organic growth, and financial health. However, a -45% price performance over 28 months indicates that the stock has significantly underperformed, contradicting the expectations of growth and stability outlined in the thesis.
