Sherwin-Williams Positioned for Growth Amid Strategic Initiatives and Market Share GainsWe attended a sell side dinner with Sherwin management last night. We came away feeling confident about Sherwin’s strategy to gain share in a choppy market. Mgmt. stressed its conviction to gain share in a downcycle, which the CEO described as “softer for longer and slightly weakening”. Volume, which remains elusive, is the necessary ingredient for driving topline and margins. Price/mix tailwinds from 1H continue into 2H, while further price increases are harder to come by while raws prices are easing. That said, mgmt remains laser focused on share gains while volumes are down to benefit from increasing volumes when the cycle turns. Store growth target remains at 80-100 stores/year, while SHW sees enough opportunities that could justify the upper end of the target in coming years.

Sherwin-Williams: Navigating Market Challenges with Strategic Positioning and Market Share OpportunitiesWe attended a sell-side dinner with a dozen members of SHW’s executive team including CEO Heidi Petz and CFO Al Mistysyn. SHW reiterated its mid-term targets from its 2024 FCP and while no near-term update was provided, the company emphasized a “softer and weaker for longer” demand environment several times. Management cautioned that rate cuts are not a panacea and the company shares the view of its largest customers that home affordability & consumer confidence will be far more critical. However, this dynamic environment has created a tremendous opportunity for share gains with recent competitor exits, layoffs, and aggressive pricing actions. Management emphasized a recent exclusive win with a national homebuilder, where SHW won on predictability of service levels, supply assurance, and transparency.
