Best-in-class HVAC distributor with 17.9% ROE and a fat dividend, but declining revenue and a 28.6x P/E say hold.
Revenue $7.24B · FY2025
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~70% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Watsco is the leading distributor of HVAC equipment and supplies in North America, and the franchise quality shows in the ratios: a 17.9% return on equity, 28.0% gross margin and an asset-light model that needs only $34.5M of capex on $7.24B of revenue. The balance sheet is pristine — current assets of $2.95B dwarf current liabilities of $718M, and equity grew 4.7% to $2.78B. This is a steady cash machine that returns most of it to shareholders: dividends rose 11.9% to $474M in FY2025, nearly matching net income.
