Wells Fargo analyst Stephen East notes the White House announced that the U.S. would, for the time being, leave the tariff rate at 10% on $200B of Chinese goods, instead of bumping the rate to 25% on January 1st. Previously, the analyst had assumed the 25% tariff would create a material headwind for Masco (MAS), followed by American Woodmark (AMWD), Fortune Brands (FBHS) and Jeld-Wen (JELD) and PGT Innovations (PGTI), with little impact on Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Owens Corning (OC). Mohawk (MHK) will have unquantified headwinds, but has the most U.S. manufacturing capacity, ultimately providing a net benefit versus peers, he adds. With the U.S. halting the hike to a 25% tariff rate, East believes Masco will receive the greatest reprieve, followed by Fortune Brands and Jeld-Wen. Net, he thinks the deal is a modest headwind for Mohawk's equity as Chinese flooring imports will remain more competitive.
