Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MAS

10/02/2026: MAS (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Masco Corporation is a established player in the building products industry, best known for its durable brands such as Delta and Behr. The company maintains a strong competitive position due to its long-standing partnerships with major retailers, which provides stable, consistent market access. Its investment story centers on capturing demand from residential repair and remodeling cycles. However, investors must weigh these strengths against risks including high concentration with key customers, sensitivity to housing market cycles, and potential input cost inflation. Overall, Masco may suit dividend-focused or value-oriented investors who value a stable, established brand portfolio while monitoring housing market interest rate trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
MAS receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MAS has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.5%) and solid profitability (net margin 10.7%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-1.5%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.4%), very low insider ownership of 0.23%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MAS's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (11.5% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
MAS's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being earnings growth at -1.5% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while revenue growth (-3.4%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-4.5%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 106.7% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.23%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 7.97%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.68%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.20%
State Street Corp 5.44%
Harris Associates L.P. 4.22%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MAS generates approximately $355 of gross profit, $168 of operating income, and $115 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 24.41%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
MAS has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
