How has Building Products & Equipment moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 24% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 20% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 27 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Building Products & Equipment outperforming S&P 500?

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Masco Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Griffon Corporation has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -3.7% and the one-year return is 4%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Johnson Controls International plc has the highest Revenue among the 29 Building Products & Equipment companies compared here, at $24,433 million. Carrier Global Corporation is next at $21,870 million. AAON, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 28.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 26 of 29 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Johnson Controls International plc is the scale leader at $24,433 million, 11.7% ahead of Carrier Global Corporation. AAON, Inc.'s growth is 28.2% from a $1,617 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Johnson Controls International plc is the scale benchmark; AAON, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Johnson Controls International plc's growth falls below AAON, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Building Products & Equipment comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 29 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

Which companies are included?
All 29 companies in the canonical Building Products & Equipment membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 29 Building Products & Equipment companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Building Products & Equipment company comparison FAQs
These 18 answers restate the Building Products & Equipment comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 29 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is the biggest?
Johnson Controls International plc is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $24,433 million, ahead of Carrier Global Corporation at $21,870 million. That covers 26 of 29 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is growing fastest?
AAON, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 28.2% year on year, across 26 of 29 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Building Products & Equipment company has the best profit margins?
Johnson Controls International plc has the highest operating margin at 60.6%, from 28 of 29 comparable companies. Aspen Aerogels, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +325.2 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Building Products & Equipment company makes the most profit?
Trane Technologies plc earns the most, at $2,955 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 27 of 29 comparable companies. SPX Technologies, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 25.9%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Building Products & Equipment company earns the highest return on capital?
Masco Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 8.9%, across 29 of 29 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Building Products & Equipment stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Builders FirstSource, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.14×. Only 20 of 29 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Building Products & Equipment company has the strongest balance sheet?
AirJoule Technologies Corporation carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 29 of 29 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is investing most in new capacity?
Owens Corning reports the largest capital spending at $233 million, across 29 of 29 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Building Products & Equipment sector beating the market?
Building Products & Equipment has underperformed S&P 500 by 17.9% over the last 52 weeks and 0.1% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 8 of 28 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Building Products & Equipment stock has the strongest price momentum?
Masco Corporation has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Building Products & Equipment company scores highest for research priority?
Masco Corporation scores 64.9 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 20.8 points on growth and earnings, 13 on capital efficiency, 12 on valuation and 19.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
