Masco Corp. (MAS): 2Q26 First Take

2Q Beat Driven by IEEPA Refunds While Adj. Number Misses On One-Time Items,

Lower Revenues: Masco reported 2Q adj. EPS of $1.64, above our $1.30 estimate

and FactSet consensus of $1.32, including $95mn in IEEPA refunds, +$0.35 to results.

Excluding this, EPS came in below our model and consensus at $1.16. The miss was

led by adj. one-time items, ($0.09) and revenues down 3% vs our +1% forecast,

($0.06). Other factors to the included: 1) a lower EBIT margin given the loss of

operating leverage, ($0.02) and interest expense, ($0.01), which were offset by

minority interest and the share count, +$0.02 and +$0.01, respectively. Results were

consistent with a weak housing backdrop along with strategic investments as well as

an ongoing focus on cost savings and pricing in an effort to offset inflation. Given the

$95mn in tariff refunds, the 2026 adj. EPS guide was raised to $4.50 at the mid-point

vs our $4.25 forecast. On the call, we will look for more color on: 1) path for

plumbing volumes versus price and the sustainability of share gains, 2) efforts to

offset DIY paint headwinds and updates on growth in pro, and 3) price/cost given

commodities, productivity and other factors to margins.
