Business and strategic priorities
Revenue just under $8B, high-teens margins; portfolio spans plumbing, wellness products and decorative architectural products.
Core brands include Delta, Brizo, Newport Brass, Hansgrohe, AXOR and Behr; four largest businesses represent 85% of revenue.
Growth agenda targets outperformance versus categories while sustaining strong margins, supported by brands, innovation, digital capabilities and cost discipline.
Eliminated the group president role; leaders of the four largest businesses now report directly to the CEO, with new procurement, marketing and digital leaders added.
Outlook and execution
2028 organic growth target of 3%-4% assumes category growth recovery; low-single-digit growth with healthy margins expected in 2026 despite challenging markets.
For 2027, no major market inflection is assumed; growth is expected to rely on consumer focus, innovation and performance across channels.
A $50M restructuring was announced at the end of Q4 last year; continued cost-structure reviews aim to align spending with category and business scale.
Inflation is likely in the coming year; priorities include supplier and footprint actions, internal cost reductions and targeted, data-led pricing when needed.
Consumer and business opportunities
LLMs and AI are changing online discovery; efforts focus on brand visibility across sources such as Reddit, long-form content and company websites.
Delta represents ~1/3 of U.S. faucets; Brizo and Newport Brass serve premium showroom channels, while Hansgrohe has strong positions in Europe and China and sells in 100+ countries.
Plumbing e-commerce is among the fastest-growing businesses; share of shelf is rising at most large retailers this year, supported by exclusive products and channel capabilities.
Hot tubs continue to grow; U.S. sauna household penetration is 1% and rising quickly, with current demand challenging production capacity.
Behr holds over 30% share in DIY paint and just under 10% in pro paint; residential repaint contractors are a long-term growth opportunity.

Frequently asked questions
Home Improvement and Building Products
Masco Corporation is an American company that specializes in the design, manufacture, and distribution of branded home improvement and building products. The company's product portfolio includes faucets, kitchen and bath cabinets, bath and shower units, paints and stains, windows, decorative hardware, and plumbing specialties, catering to both repair and remodeling as well as new home construction. The company is headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, and its shares are listed on the NYSE.
From Automotive to Home Improvement
The company was founded in 1929 by Alex Manoogian as Masco Screw Products Company. In the beginning, it focused on machining automotive parts for Detroit's blossoming car industry, but it would undergo significant transformations to become the diversified home products company known today. In the 1950s, Masco ventured beyond automotive parts and made a pivotal shift towards the home improvement and building products industry. This strategic redirection was marked by Alex Manoogian's successful redesign of the single-handle faucet (named the Delta Faucet), which instantly became a huge success.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Masco Corporation expanded its product lines and market reach through a series of acquisitions and diversifications. In the following decades, Masco continued to evolve through strategic acquisitions, international expansion, and a focus on innovation. The company acquired many brands that are well-recognized today, such as Behr Paint, KraftMaid, and Merillat cabinets, among others.
The Offerings Today
The company's offerings are diverse, encompassing several key categories that cater to both the residential and commercial construction markets. Here's a breakdown of Masco's primary product lines and activities:
Plumbing Products: Masco is well-known for its plumbing products, including faucets, showerheads, and other related fixtures. These products serve both the repair and remodeling markets as well as new construction.
Decorative Architectural Products: This category includes a variety of paints, primers, specialty coatings, and decorative accessories. Masco's Behr and Kilz brands are prominent in the paint and coatings industry, offering solutions for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors.
Cabinetry Products: Masco also operates in the cabinetry sector, providing a range of products for kitchens and bathrooms. Although the company has made strategic adjustments to its portfolio over the years, including divesting certain cabinetry businesses, it has historically been involved in manufacturing and selling cabinets under various brand names.
Windows and Other Specialty Products: The company offers windows and other specialty products designed to enhance home aesthetics and functionality. This category can include items such as window frames, doors, and other home hardware.
