Sherwin-Williams Q2 Profit Jumps 12%, Raises Full-Year EPS Outlook
SHW sits 19% above its 52-week low of $289.86.
Summary
Sherwin-Williams delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EPS of $3.70 beating expectations and revenue up 7.5% to $6.79 billion. The company raised its full-year EPS guidance to $11.80–$12.20, signaling confidence in sustained demand. The raised profit forecast is driven by expectations of higher prices. This follows the abandoned AkzoNobel bid in June, which had created uncertainty. The results and raised outlook suggest the core business is performing well independently.
