Vincent Andrews has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting RPM International’s performance. The company’s earnings per share (EPS) and sales growth estimates for the upcoming fiscal quarter have been revised downward. Specifically, EPS for the second fiscal quarter of 2026 is now expected to be slightly lower than previous estimates, and sales growth projections have been reduced, reflecting a more conservative outlook.
Additionally, several external factors have influenced these adjustments. The company faced challenges such as hurricane-related disruptions and project delays due to a government shutdown, which affected volumes in certain segments. Furthermore, weaker-than-expected performance from major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s has led to a reduction in consumer volume expectations. These elements, combined with modestly negative foreign exchange impacts, contribute to the Hold rating as they suggest limited near-term upside potential for RPM International’s stock.
According to TipRanks, Andrews is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 1.5% and a 56.54% success rate. Andrews covers the Basic Materials sector, focusing on stocks such as Ecolab, DuPont de Nemours, and Sherwin-Williams Company.
