Insteel Industries Reports Q3 Earnings Decline Amid Rising Costs
Insteel Industries (NYSE:IIIN) reported a drop in third-quarter earnings to $9 million, or $0.46 per share, from $15.2 million the previous year due to increased raw material and freight costs that offset modest shipment growth and higher selling prices. Despite mixed demand trends across sectors like infrastructure and private non-residential construction, management remains optimistic about underlying demand.
