# MasterBrand Inc. (MBC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price $8.51, market value $1.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). MasterBrand Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.3%** (5-yr avg 13.9%). Free cash flow equals 4.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 13.9%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 26.9%**. MasterBrand Inc. keeps 26.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -1.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 1.0%**. 1.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.0%**. 2.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -1.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -1.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -3.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 1.3%** (3-yr -5.8%/yr). Revenue grew 1.3% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -78.1%** (3-yr -44.1%/yr). Earnings per share fell 78.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -13.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -13.2% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.72**. Debt is 0.72 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.21**. A Z-score of 2.21 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
