Description: SHW Sherwin-Williams January 27, 2026
The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) manufactures, distributes, and sells paints, coatings, and related products to professional, industrial, commercial, and retail customers worldwide. Its operations are organized into three segments: Paint Stores Group (architectural and industrial paints under the Sherwin-Williams brand), Consumer Brands Group (branded and private-label paints, stains, varnishes, and related accessories sold through retailers and distributors), and Performance Coatings Group (industrial, automotive, marine, coil, and packaging coatings sold to third-party distributors).
Geographically, Sherwin-Williams serves North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Australia, leveraging a network of over 4,300 company-owned stores and a broad distributor base. The firm’s legacy dates back to 1866, and its headquarters remain in Cleveland, Ohio.
Key recent metrics (as of FY 2023): revenue of $21.9 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.4%, and a 12-month dividend yield of ~3.5%. The company’s same-store sales grew 6.5% YoY, driven by strong housing-starts growth (U.S. starts up 4.2% YoY in Q4 2023) and a robust DIY renovation market, which has expanded 3-4% annually over the past three years.
Sector drivers include continued residential construction activity, elevated demand for durable industrial coatings in automotive refinishing (benefiting from the global vehicle-production rebound), and rising raw-material costs that pressure margins across specialty chemicals. Sherwin-Williams’ vertically integrated supply chain and pricing power have helped mitigate some of these cost pressures.
