Sherwin-Williams (SHW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Sherwin-Williams (SHW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sherwin-Williams demonstrates a strong financial outlook, driven by an expectation of $80 million in annual savings from an increased restructuring effort that will take effect in the second half of the year. This restructuring, alongside a modest rise in selling, general and administrative expenses, suggests a disciplined approach to expense management while still positioning for growth. Additionally, the company achieved a year-over-year improvement in gross margin of 60 basis points, reaching 49.4%, indicating positive operational efficiency and pricing power in the premium paint market.
Bears say
Sherwin-Williams has adjusted its sales expectations for 2025, now predicting sales to be flat or slightly down, a significant change from prior expectations of modest growth. The company's outlook is compounded by persistent high interest rates and affordability challenges, which have negatively impacted forecasts for both existing and new home sales. Furthermore, potential recessionary impacts could lead to an estimated 11% decline in EBITDA from 2024 levels, projecting a fall to approximately $3.99 billion.
