A New Plan. Yesterday, after the market closed, Steelcase filed an 8-k with the Securities & Exchange Commission reporting the Company has entered into a stock repurchase agreement with an independent third party broker. The agreement was established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We believe share repurchases are a good use of excess cash on the balance sheet at current prices.

Details. The broker is authorized to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock on behalf of the Company during the period from October 11, 2024 through December 20, 2024, subject to certain price, market and volume constraints specified in the agreement. At yesterday’s closing price, acquiring the shares would cost approximately $19 million and the 1.5 million shares represent approximately 1.6% of the outstanding Class A shares. The Company has $79.9 million remaining under its $100 million share repurchase plan authorization.

Initiating Research Coverage. We are initiating research coverage of Steelcase Inc. with an Outperform rating and a $16 price target. Already the global leader in the office furniture marketplace, we believe there is a substantial opportunity to capture additional wallet share. The Company’s research driven approach is a competitive differentiator, in our view.

Largest, But Room to Grow. Despite being the market leader, we believe Steelcase can benefit from a rising market share in a growing market. Steelcase’s overall market share is relatively modest, providing opportunity for Steelcase to capture additional market share, while secular trends are driving overall growth in the market, with the worldwide Office Furniture space projected to grow at a 7.1% CAGR through 2032.
