On July 30, Masco declined 11.35% in regular trading, trading at approximately $72.61 per share with turnover of $329 million. The selloff was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings report revealing a significant revenue shortfall.
Masco reported Q2 non-GAAP EPS of $1.64, beating the consensus estimate of $1.32 by 24.2%. However, quarterly revenue came in at $1.992 billion, declining 2.9% year-over-year and missing the $2.081 billion estimate by approximately $100 million. The market clearly prioritized top-line weakness over bottom-line outperformance, driving heavy selling pressure. Notably, the company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.40-$4.60, above the prior FactSet consensus of $4.28.
This result contrasts with Q1 performance, when Masco beat both revenue and EPS estimates, sending shares up over 10%. Masco is a global leader in branded home improvement and building products, operating well-known brands including BEHR paint, DELTA faucets, and HANSGROHE.
