Masco Tumbles 9.7% as Sales Miss, Tariff Pressures Overshadow Profit Beat
MAS sits 25% above its 52-week low of $58.165 on elevated volume (2.5× avg).
Summary
Masco shares fell 9.7% after Q2 sales of $1.99B missed estimates by $90M, declining 3% YoY, despite adjusted EPS of $1.64 beating by $0.32. The top-line miss and tariff cost warnings overshadowed a guidance raise to $4.40-$4.60, fueled by $95M in IEEPA tariff refunds. Executives flagged North American sales headwinds from tough comps and input costs, plus a primer business transition. This follows earlier intraday reports of the guidance cut and sales miss, but the sharp stock drop and call details are new. The market is punishing the revenue weakness and tariff uncertainty despite strong profitability.
