MasterBrand is downgraded from 'Strong Buy' to 'Buy' due to recent profitability weakness and housing market headwinds. MBC's EBITDA margin fell to 7.2% from 12.2%, with trailing 12-month EBITDA at $294.5 million, reflecting softer revenue and consumer trade-downs. Synergy targets from the American Woodmark merger have increased to $100 million, with $50 million expected in the first year post-combination.
MasterBrand NYSE: MBC reported second-quarter results that included a partial-period contribution from American Woodmark following the completion of their merger on May 28, while management outlined a second-half outlook centered on integration, cost savings and tariff mitigation.
