** Brokerage Benchmark cuts price target on building materials and products supplier Builders FirstSource BLDR.N to $138 from $142; reiterates "buy" rating

** New PT represents a 23.9% upside to stock's last close

** Benchmark says BLDR is well‑positioned to help builders navigate market headwinds, but severe weather in the first quarter has slowed activity, potentially pushing back any proof of demand stabilization

** BLDR forecast annual profit margin below Wall Street estimates on Tuesday, as continued weakness in housing construction and affordability constraints weighed on its business

** Median PT of 24 brokerages covering the stock is $125 - data compiled by LSEG

** BLDR fell 28% in 2025
