Grade
B82Wide-moat branded building-products leader with top-decile ROA but cyclical revenue decline and tariff-driven margin compression.
Strengths
- Top-decile ROA (15.6%, 94.6th) and strong operating margin (16.5%, 82.6th)
- Durable brand moat: BEHR Home Depot exclusivity plus Delta/Hansgrohe plumbing franchises
- Strong cash generation (OCF margin 13.5%) and consistent capital returns
Risks
- Revenue down 3.4% (21st pct) with gross/operating margin compression from tariffs
- Negative book equity from buybacks distorts ROE (artifact, not distress)
- Repair/remodel demand softening with housing cycle
