Due to increase in earnings per share in the first quarter 2026, Masco's 12 Months dividend pay out ratio sequentially decreased to 31.17% in the first quarter 2026, unsurprisingly, as the Masco earnings continue to rise, and the pay out ratio remains below MAS's average, the question arises, if Masco will increase the dividend soon.
Within Energy sector 25 other companies have achieved higher 12 Months dividend pay out ratio. While in terms of ranking among all other companies, the company has moved form 231 in the fourth quarter 2025, to 309.
In the recently released second quarter 2024 results, Masco Corporation, a global leader in branded home improvement and building products, showcased its continued growth and resilience. Although net sales saw a slight decline of 2 percent to $2,091 million compared to the same period last year, Plumbing Products net sales increased by an impressive 2 percent. One noteworthy aspect is Masco's impressive earnings per share in the first quarter of 2024, which led to a decrease in the 12 Months dividend pay out ratio to just 27.92%. This reduction was expected given the rising earnings and the fact that the pay out ratio remains below the company's average. This raises the question of whether Masco will increase its dividend in the near future, a move that could attract further investor interest.
