Conestoga Small Cap Strategy made the following comment about SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (NYSE:SITE) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:
“The Consumer Discretionary sector was the largest contributor to relative returns and was aided by a combination of positive stock selection and allocation effects. SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (NYSE:SITE) provided a tailwind to performance as the distributor of wholesale landscape supplies benefited from an earnings beat and recovery by housing-related stocks. SITE is the largest distributor of supplies for residential and commercial landscape professionals. The stock performed well following better-than-expected demand and margins. Despite higher interest rates and homeowners shifting their budgets from goods to services, landscape spending has appeared to be reasonably stable.”
