Trex Company, Inc. (TREX) Investigation

The investigation is focused on the propriety of Trex’s disclosures about its sales practices and growth prospects.

In August 2025, Trex assured investors that “our revised inventory strategy reduces the volatility typically associated with channel stocking and de-stocking[]” and “[b]y level-loading our production, we can better manage inventory cycles, enhance operational efficiencies, and reduce volatility in our quarterly results[.]” The company also called for FY 2025 sales growth of 5% to 7%.

But after the markets closed on November 4, 2025, Trex surprised investors when it reported disappointing Q3 2025 financial results with net sales of $285 million coming in 5% below the mid-point of its guidance (significantly missing analysts’ consensus estimates), a sequential decline of about 26%. The company also reported a 12% decline in net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior year periods.

In addition, Trex said it expects a “muted” fourth quarter, explaining in part “we expect our pro channel partners to lower their inventories through the rest of the year” and revised its 2025 sales growth guidance down to roughly 0% compared to 2024.

The news sent the price of Trex shares tumbling on November 5, 2025.

Hagens Berman has a proven track record of being appointed to leadership roles in complex, multidistrict litigation regarding investor fraud and other consumer rights issues, and your claim will be handled by attorneys who have helped secure approximately $325 billion in class-action settlements on behalf of individuals who have suffered due to corporate malfeasance and the wrongdoing of other powerful institutions.
