Vincent Andrews has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting RPM International’s financial outlook. The updated earnings per share (EPS) estimates for the upcoming fiscal quarters have been slightly reduced, reflecting a cautious stance on the company’s near-term performance. Specifically, the adjustments in EPS for F1Q26 and F2026 indicate a modest decline compared to previous forecasts and consensus expectations.
A significant factor contributing to this rating is the anticipated slower growth in adjusted EBIT, coupled with a downward revision in margins, particularly in the Consumer segment. This is attributed to ongoing cost challenges, delayed pricing adjustments, and temporary inefficiencies at manufacturing plants. Despite these concerns, assumptions regarding foreign exchange and raw materials costs remain stable, suggesting that the Hold rating is a balanced view of the potential risks and opportunities facing RPM International.
In another report released on September 24, UBS also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $127.00 price target.
