Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. provided earnings guidance for the year 2019. The company’s 2019 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 2% to 2.5% and an assumption of 2% to 2.5% growth for the total global market. The company’s full-year 2019 sales growth expectation is tightened to the range of 5% to 6%, reflecting the slower ramp up of building product demand in the U.S., and the weaker Canadian housing market. As a result, the company tightens its full-year 2019 EPS outlook before charges/gains to $3.53 to $3.63.
