Masco Corp. (MAS-N)

It looks decent to us; it is a cyclical business, but MAS has grown earnings nicely over the years. The balance sheet is a bit leveraged with debt at 2.5X cash flow, but cash flow is consistent, with high free cash flow conversion. At 16X earnings, it is priced reasonably well considering expected growth of 12% to 16% over the next few years. The 1.72% dividend has shown good growth. The last quarter was good as operating margins have improved with better cost control. The stock is up about 4-fold in the last decade. We would consider it 'good' but not 'great'. Its cyclicality and debt do add some risks here.
