Masco CorporationHousing supply bill cuts red tape and streamlines approvals, boosting demand for Masco's building products.
Shares of Simpson, Masco, and Hayward jumped in afternoon trading after both chambers of Congress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing-supply legislation since 1990. The bill aims to boost supply by cutting red tape, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing manufactured-housing rules, and barring institutional owners of 350 or more single-family homes from buying additional existing homes. Simpson rose 4.1%, Masco gained 5.9%, and Hayward climbed 5.5%. The rally was also supported by KB Home's quarterly revenue beat and a drop in the 10-year Treasury yield below 4.5%, which helped push mortgage rates lower and reinforced demand for new construction.
