Despite the subpar performance, Sherwin-Williams’ underlying fundamentals appear solid. Take operating margin, for example. It currently stands at 16.5%, which is very close to its five-year high of 16.7%. In addition, it’s up significantly from its five-year low of 12% in 2022. What’s more, management recently announced an 8% price increase, effective Sept. 1, 2026. The increase is designed to offset higher input costs and should further stabilize or widen the company’s margins. As for valuation, Sherwin-Williams’ price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple is 33x, hovering right around its five-year average of 34x, indicating that the stock is probably fairly priced.
To sum up, SHW stock has lagged the benchmark S&P 500 index over the last five years. However, the company’s fundamentals still indicate a strong, well-run business, even as the overall U.S. housing market remains lackluster. Investors seeking exposure to the housing or remodeling market may want to consider SHW stock, particularly if the stock dips in the near future.
