Sherwin-Williams (SHW) — Overview
The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) is the world’s largest producer of paints and coatings, with three segments: Paint Stores Group (PSG), Consumer Brands Group (CBG), and Performance Coatings Group (PCG). Q1 2026 net sales grew 6.8% to $5.67 billion, beating the consensus estimate, with all segments contributing. Adjusted EPS of $2.35 grew 4.4% and the company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $11.50–$11.90. Gross margin expanded to 49.1% on moderating raw material costs. The Suvinil acquisition boosted the Consumer Brands Group with a 19.2% sales jump. SHW is a classic housing recovery play — when existing home sales and new construction recover, paint demand follows with a lag. The bear case is $11.7 billion in debt and SG&A rising faster than sales as the company invests in a new global headquarters and technology center.
