See our latest analysis for SiteOne Landscape Supply.

The latest move takes SiteOne’s share price to $134.14, with a 1-day share price return of 5.25% and a 7-day share price return of 3.95% partially offsetting a 30-day share price return of negative 11.40%. Over a longer horizon, the 1-year total shareholder return of 4.55% and 3-year total shareholder return of 0.79% suggest momentum has been relatively muted, especially when set against a 5-year total shareholder return of negative 21.75%. Today’s rebound therefore appears more like a short-term repricing of risk than an established trend.
