Fully depreciated equipment in the Building Products industry
Industrials
Among the 19 companies analysed by BTN, those with the biggest risk of overstated earnings from using fully depreciated equipment or unusually long depreciation lives compared to the industry include Allegion, A.O. Smith, Insteel Industries, Trane Technologies and Masco. Meanwhile, they see Simpson Manufacturing, Advanced Drainage Systems, AAON, Trex and Builders FirstSource as being positioned to start seeing lower depreciation expense and capital spending. These companies are already years into modernisation and expanding their equipment bases. Their depreciation has risen and been a headwind to earnings of late, but they may be about to see this level off and put them in a position of rising margins and FCF.
