  • Masco's Dividend Yield Surges Above 2% as MAS Trades Near Lows
    November 5, 2025, 7:44 PM EST. On Wednesday, Masco Corp (symbol: MAS) yielded above 2% based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $1.24). The stock traded as low as $61.51, highlighting a yield that may appeal to income-focused investors.
