Sherwin-Williams' overall score reflects its strong financial performance, which is the most significant factor contributing to its stability in the Chemicals - Specialty industry. While the earnings call confirmed solid results, technical indicators suggest a bearish trend, and high valuation metrics indicate potential overvaluation. Demand challenges and external pressures also weigh on the stock's prospects.

Sherwin-Williams: Strategic Market Share Gains and Technological Advancements Drive Buy RatingWe toured a residential paint store and a commercial paint store in Cleveland which showcased the potential for continued market share gains, given SHW's heavy investments in technology and SG&A. We reiterate our OW rating and PT of $420. North American paint demand is expected to be down LSD% in 2025, marking the 4th year in a row of weakness as existing home sales have hovered around 4MM since late 2022 vs. ~6MM in mid-2020 to early 2022. SHW has generated positive organic growth via pricing and market share gains supported by SG&A and technology investments. SHW appears to be shifting its focus toward its commercial stores (15-20% of NA footprint) with a goal to mirror the success at its retail stores.
