Sherwin-Williams (SHW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sherwin-Williams has demonstrated a solid financial performance, with a year-over-year increase in gross margin by 60 basis points, reaching 49.4%. The company is poised for future cost savings of $80 million annually due to its restructuring efforts, which are set to phase in during the second half of the year. Additionally, management anticipates an increase in gross margin in the second half compared to the first half, reflecting potential operational improvements despite currently lower plant operating rates.
Bears say
Sherwin-Williams has revised its 2025 sales outlook downward, anticipating sales in the low single digits instead of previous expectations of growth in the same category, reflecting a weakening demand environment. Additionally, the company's outlook is compounded by concerns surrounding affordability and high interest rates, which are expected to negatively affect existing and new home sales. In a potential recession scenario, Sherwin-Williams' EBITDA is projected to decline approximately 11% from 2024 levels, translating to an EBITDA of around $3.99 billion, indicating significant financial strain ahead.
