How does Friedman Industries' performance this quarter compare to its main competitors in the sector?

I’m sorry, but the brief you shared only tells us that Friedman Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRD) announced its first‑quarter results on August 7 2025. It doesn’t include any of the key performance figures—such as revenue, earnings per share, profit margins, or year‑over‑year growth—that would let us evaluate how the company performed this quarter. Likewise, there’s no information about the results or metrics of its main competitors in the sector.

Because a meaningful comparison requires:

• Friedman Industries’ specific quarterly results (e.g., total sales, net income, EPS, operating margin, any notable segment performance, and guidance), and
  
• Comparable data from its peers (e.g., the same financial metrics for the leading rivals in the industry for the same quarter),

I don’t have enough detail to assess how Friedman Industries’ performance stacks up against the competition.

If you can provide the actual financial numbers from Friedman Industries’ earnings release—or at least the headline highlights (e.g., “revenue up 12% to $X billion; net income fell 5% to $Y million; EPS of $Z”), as well as any known results for its main competitors, I’ll be able to give you a thorough, side‑by‑side comparison.
