What This Transaction Means for Investors

Masterton Capital Management, a New York-based hedge fund, recently sold more than 107,000 shares of Trex stock, valued at around $4.3 million. Here’s what it means for average investors.

First off, let’s recap Trex’s performance. Shares have declined by 33% over the last year. However, year-to-date, they are up about 18%.

What’s more, the company just released fourth-quarter (the three months ending on Dec. 31, 2025) earnings results that soundly beat analyst expectations. In addition, company management raised guidance, pointing to robust sales of new products, which are helping to diversify the company’s offerings beyond basic decking.

On the flip side, concerns remain regarding the overall macro environment. Homeowners, who are facing increased prices for everything from utilities to insurance, may find it difficult to invest in repair and remodel projects this year. At any rate, Trex’s year-to-date performance and bullish earnings report indicate that the company is doing well navigating the challenging macro environment.

As for Masterton, this sale is a significant one. Trex now represents only 1.1% of total AUM, down from 4.4% at the end of the third quarter (the three months ending on Sep. 30, 2025). While Masterton might be taking a step back from Trex, average investors may want to give the stock a closer look, given its better-than-expected earnings results and positive guidance.
