Ferguson Enterprises Inc. /DE/ FERG
Ferguson is North America's largest value-added distributor of essential water and air solutions, serving the specialized professional in our $340 billion residential and non-residential construction markets. We help make our customers' complex projects simple, successful and sustainable by providing expertise and a wide range of products and services from plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC"), appliances, and lighting to pipes, valves and fittings ("PVF"), water and wastewater solutions and more. We sell through a common network of distribution centers, branches, counter service and expert sales associates, showroom consultants and e-commerce channels.
The Company has a long history and maintained businesses throughout Europe, Canada and the United States in the 1900s. In the early 2000s, the Company's focus shifted to attractive North American markets. As a result, the operating businesses across Europe were disposed of through various transactions. As part of this transition, and following a corporate restructuring, Ferguson Enterprises Inc. became the ultimate parent company for the business in August 2024.

As the company reported it, from the “Segment and net sales information - Items not Allocated (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
