Description: RPM RPM International January 02, 2026
RPM International Inc. (NYSE: RPM) is a diversified specialty-chemicals group that serves construction, industrial, and consumer markets through four operating segments-Coatings & Performance Materials (CPG), Performance Coatings Group (PCG), Consumer, and Specialty Products Group (SPG). Its product portfolio spans waterproofing and roofing systems, sealants, foams, fire-stopping coatings, concrete admixtures, epoxy resins, and a range of restoration and DIY solutions.
In fiscal 2023 the company generated roughly $5.6 billion in revenue, with an adjusted operating margin of about 13 % and a diluted EPS of $7.12, reflecting steady pricing power despite a softening construction environment. RPM’s growth is closely tied to macro-drivers such as U.S. residential and non-residential construction spending, which the U.S. Census Bureau projects to expand 2-3 % annually through 2025, and to the broader trend of infrastructure investment spurred by the bipartisan infrastructure law.
Recent strategic moves include the acquisition of a European waterproofing business in 2022, which added roughly $250 million of annual revenue and diversified geographic exposure, and a continued focus on cost-discipline that has kept SG&A expense growth below revenue growth for three consecutive years. The firm’s balance sheet remains strong, with a net cash position of $1.2 billion and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.4×, providing flexibility for further bolt-on deals.
Given RPM’s resilient cash flow generation and its positioning in sectors that benefit from both new construction and repair-and-maintenance cycles, a deeper dive into its segment-level margins and free-cash-flow trends could be worthwhile; ValueRay’s detailed analyst tools may help you uncover those nuances.
