Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Some durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what MAS's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. MAS trades near $77.21, above its 50-day average ($72.13) and 200-day average ($67.77). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 79 it is overbought — the recent rally is stretched and can cool off.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. MAS's is $2.43 (~3.1% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month MAS found buyers near $68.70 (support) and sellers near $83.21 (resistance); its 52-week range is $58.16–$83.21. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.7× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue moved from $7.36B in 2016 to $7.56B in 2025, a 0.3% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year declined 0.3% year over year. Shrinking revenue is worth a closer look — is it cyclical or structural?

Net Margin

ROE
279.8%
Masco keeps about 10.9% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 35.4% gross margin and 16.5% operating margin. Return on equity is 279.8% and return on invested capital about 36.0%. Margins are moderate — typical of a competitive but profitable business.

Debt / Equity
14.33x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 14.3x, and operating profit covers interest about 11.8x, with a current ratio of 1.8x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $2.95B of total debt against $388.00M of cash.
Operating CF
$1.02B
Free Cash Flow
$866.00M
FCF Margin

In the latest year Masco produced about $1.02B of operating cash flow and $866.00M of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 6.1% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

MAS trades at 18.6x trailing earnings (about 16.9x on estimated forward earnings), 2.0x sales, and 76.1x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 3.6% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a fairly typical valuation for a profitable company.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for MAS:
- Strong return on equity (279.8%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~6.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
The case against MAS:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-0.3%), limiting the upside engine.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 14.3x) adds financial risk.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 14.3x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-0.3%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the picture is mixed: Masco is a large-cap industrials business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 18.6x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (50/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
