AI Analysis

I look for businesses that earn good returns on capital and trade below intrinsic value. Fortune Brands Innovations makes home products—Moen faucets, security, and outdoor items—so it has recognizable brands and a $4.5B revenue base in FY2025. But the financial record is deteriorating. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-27, revenue was $1.2B but net income was a loss of $22.5M, or diluted EPS -$0.19. A year earlier, fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-28, earned $100.3M, or $0.83 per diluted share. Full-year FY2025 net income was $298.8M, or $2.47 per diluted share, down from FY2024’s $471.9M and $3.75. Revenue slipped from $4.6B to $4.5B. FairStock’s calculations show ROE of 6.41%, ROCE of 5.42%, and debt-to-equity of 1.21, so returns are modest and leverage is meaningful. The Altman Z-Score of 1.88 adds caution. At the 2026-10-13 close of $39.05, the P/E is 31.49, P/B is 2.02, and EV/EBITDA is 15.39. The Graham Number is $23.21, leaving a negative margin of safety of 68.25%. Free cash flow is a bright spot: $400.5M trailing, an 8.6% FCF yield. The Lynch category is SLOW GROWER — Shrinking, with profit down 11.6% a year over five years and revenue down 6.0%. I see a branded but shrinking business with weak current earnings, a stretched price, and a balance sheet that requires watching. The dividend yield of 2.64% is not enough by itself to offset those risks.

In plain English: Fortune Brands Innovations sells home products such as faucets, security gear, and outdoor items. Profits have been falling and the latest quarter showed a loss, so the business looks weak right now. At the current stock price, the market is paying a high price relative to the company’s recent earnings, so the shares look expensive rather than cheap.
