Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Mueller Industries, Inc. trades at $60.61. The share price and the per-share figures behind our estimate for Mueller Industries, Inc. appear to be on different share bases, which is what a share split or consolidation looks like before every input has caught up with it. We publish no estimate until the inputs are recomputed on one basis.
Our moat model scores it 68 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 17.4 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.
