Building Products & Equipment Stocks
Building Products & Equipment: Johnson Controls International plc owns the largest revenue base; AAON, Inc. has the fastest current growth.
How has Building Products & Equipment moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 41% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 16% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 9/27 >200d (−5) · 3/27 lead (−10) · EPS 10/27↑
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 27 of its 29 companies — the 2 with too short a price record are ranked in the scorecard but cannot sit in this line. 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.
Is Building Products & Equipment outperforming S&P 500?
Building Products & Equipment has underperformed S&P 500 by 23.1% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 13.6%. 3 of 28 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Quanex Building Products Corporation is the strongest against the sector itself at +25.8%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Building Products & Equipment has underperformed S&P 500 by 23.1% over 52 weeks and 13.6% over 13 weeks. 3 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 14 of 28 beat the sector itself. Johnson Controls International plc leads with revenue of $24,995 million, based on 19 of 29 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
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.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Quanex Building Products Corporation has the strongest one-year price move in Building Products & Equipment at +51.2%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +10.6%. 3 of 28 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-09-16.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Building Products & Equipment itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Johnson Controls International plc has the highest Revenue among the 29 Building Products & Equipment companies compared here, at $24,995 million. Trane Technologies plc is next at $22,211 million.

What the numbers say: Johnson Controls International plc is the scale leader at $24,995 million, 12.5% ahead of Trane Technologies plc. 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.

Return On Capital Employed
Lennox International Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 29 Building Products & Equipment companies compared here, at 13.3%. Masco Corporation is next at 12.6%. Aspen Aerogels, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +48.8 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 29 of 29 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Lennox International Inc. leads ROCE at 13.3%, 0.7 percentage points above Masco Corporation. Aspen Aerogels, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +48.8 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.
Investor read: Lennox International Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation has the lowest PEG among the 29 Building Products & Equipment companies compared here, at 0.28×. Apogee Enterprises, Inc. is next at 0.33×. Madison Air Solutions Corporation has the lowest P/E at 0×, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 29 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Louisiana-Pacific Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.28×, 15.2% below Apogee Enterprises, Inc.. Only 13 of 29 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

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.
How was this comparison built?
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 2026-09-16. 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 22 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 2026-09-16. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Building Products & Equipment sector outperforming S&P 500?
Building Products & Equipment has underperformed S&P 500 by 23.1% over 52 weeks and 13.6% over 13 weeks. 3 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 14 of 28 beat the sector itself.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is largest by revenue?
Johnson Controls International plc leads with revenue of $24,995 million, based on 19 of 29 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is growing fastest?
AAON, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 28.2%, across 19 of 29 comparable companies.
Which Building Products & Equipment company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Johnson Controls International plc ranks first at 67.5/100 with 85.3% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Building Products & Equipment company has the lowest comparable PEG?
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.28, among 13 of 29 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Building Products & Equipment comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Building Products & Equipment company is the biggest?
Johnson Controls International plc is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $24,995 million, ahead of Trane Technologies plc at $22,211 million. That covers 19 of 29 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Building Products & Equipment company has the best profit margins?
Trex Company, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 24.3%, from 28 of 29 comparable companies. Aspen Aerogels, Inc. shows the biggest improvement (+325.2 percentage points — see the chart above for the starting level). 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 $3,024 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 20 of 29 comparable companies. Johnson Controls International plc has the fastest profit growth at 9.9%, 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?
Lennox International Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 13.3%, 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Louisiana-Pacific Corporation screens cheapest at 0.28×. Only 13 of 29 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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.
Is the Building Products & Equipment sector beating the market?
Building Products & Equipment has underperformed S&P 500 by 23.1% over the last 52 weeks and 13.6% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 3 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?
Quanex Building Products 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?
Johnson Controls International plc scores 67.5 out of 100 with 85.3% evidence confidence, from 24 points on growth and earnings, 12.3 on capital efficiency, 14.7 on valuation and 16.5 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.
How many Building Products & Equipment companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 29 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Building Products & Equipment sector?
The 29 Building Products & Equipment companies on this page carry $347,202 million of combined market value. Trane Technologies plc is the largest at $92,779 million, about 27% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-09-16.
What is the Building Products & Equipment sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 29 Building Products & Equipment companies on this page is 28.4×, measured on the 29 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-09-16.
How is the Building Products & Equipment sector performing?
3 of the 28 covered Building Products & Equipment companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 23.1% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-09-16.
How many Building Products & Equipment stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 29 listed Building Products & Equipment companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
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.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
