Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
LIVONIA, Mich. - On Tuesday, Masco Corporation (NYSE:MAS) reported fourth-quarter results that fell short of revenue expectations, though earnings slightly beat estimates. The home improvement and building products manufacturer also provided a full-year 2025 outlook above analyst forecasts.
Masco shares fell -2.04% following the earnings release, as investors reacted to the revenue miss despite the upbeat guidance.
Masco posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.89 for Q4, edging past the $0.88 consensus estimate. However, revenue declined 3% year-over-year to $1.83 billion, missing expectations of $1.84 billion.
The company’s Plumbing Products segment saw net sales decrease 1% to $1.19 billion, while Decorative Architectural Products revenue fell 6% to $639 million compared to the prior year quarter.
For the full year 2024, Masco reported net sales of $7.83 billion, down 2% from 2023. Adjusted earnings per share rose 6% to $4.10.
Looking ahead, Masco forecasts 2025 earnings per share between $4.20 and $4.45, above the $4.09 analyst consensus. The company noted this outlook incorporates the impact of recently enacted China tariffs.
"In 2025, we believe demand across the global repair and remodel markets will be flat to down low single digits," said Keith Allman, Masco’s President and CEO. "We expect our sales to be approximately flat to up low-single digits when adjusted for divestitures and currency, as we expect to continue to outperform the market in 2025."
