Vincent Andrews has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Sherwin-Williams Company’s strategic advantages and growth potential. The company’s increased store density in key metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) is a significant driver of market share gains, and there are still opportunities for further expansion. As the housing market improves and volume accelerates, Sherwin-Williams is expected to experience positive margin surprises.
Moreover, the company’s price-to-earnings multiple has expanded significantly over the years, reflecting its ability to overcome various market challenges. Andrews believes that Sherwin-Williams is well-positioned to achieve a structural increase in market share, which could lead to revenue growth and margin improvements exceeding current forecasts. This potential for outperformance could further elevate its earnings multiple, distinguishing it from traditional paint and coatings companies and aligning it more closely with high-performing business services firms.
In another report released on May 20, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $420.00 price target.
