  • Mueller Industries (MLI) Valuation Strong Amid Multi-Year Share Gains
    February 1, 2026, 5:26 PM EST. Mueller Industries has delivered impressive shareholder returns, with a 74.8% total return over the past year and nearly 7x over five years. Despite recent share price volatility, its stock remains attractively valued at a P/E ratio of 20.2x, below the US Machinery sector average of 27.6x and peer average of 29.5x. The company's strong earnings growth, 24.5% return on equity, and improved profit margins bolster this valuation. Analysts note that while the stock trades near fair value estimates, it still presents potential upside if market expectations align. Investors are advised to consider sector risks, including exposure to cyclical markets, before investing.
