  1257 ET - Home-improvement retailers may have to wait for a sturdy foundation before building up sales. UBS analysts say in a research note that they're projecting the Census-tracked building materials category will decline 2% this year, but trends will improve throughout the remainder of 2024. They're expecting the percentage of households doing home-improvement projects will drop to a multi-year trough this year. They're expecting trends to re-accelerate to the industry's longer-term growth rate of around 5% in 2025 and 2026. Factors such as GDP growth and home prices tend to have the largest effect on home-improvement sales, per their analysis. (ben.glickman@wsj.com; @benglickman)
