Salvator Tiano has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting RPM International. Despite RPM’s strong fiscal fourth-quarter performance, driven by volume growth in its Construction Products Group and Performance Coatings Group, the outlook remains concerning. The consumer coatings segment continues to face challenges, and the anticipated deceleration in commercial markets, where RPM has significant exposure, poses a risk to future sales growth.
Furthermore, the guidance for fiscal 2026 suggests limited organic growth, with expectations of flat volumes. This outlook conflicts with the company’s stated goal of returning to growth, raising questions about the sustainability of its momentum. Additionally, the valuation appears constrained, with minimal room for improvement, leading to the Underperform rating. Tiano’s analysis reflects concerns about RPM’s ability to accelerate growth in the current macroeconomic environment.
