Description: SHW Sherwin-Williams December 02, 2025

Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:SHW) manufactures and distributes paint, coatings, and related products across professional, industrial, commercial, and retail channels. The firm operates through three segments: Paint Stores (architectural paints, protective and marine coatings sold under the Sherwin-Williams brand), Consumer Brands (branded and private-label paints, stains, varnishes, and related applicators sold to home-center and hardware retailers), and Performance Coatings (industrial, automotive refinish, coil, packaging, and specialty resins sold via distributors and licensees).

Geographically, SHW serves customers in North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Australia, leveraging a dense network of more than 4,400 company-owned stores and a robust wholesale channel. The company’s FY2023 revenue was approximately $20.1 billion, with an operating margin of roughly 13 % and a net income of $2.1 billion, reflecting strong pricing power despite raw-material cost pressures (e.g., titanium dioxide and solvents). A key economic driver is residential construction activity; U.S. housing starts and home-improvement spending historically account for about 30 % of total paint demand, making the business sensitive to macro-level housing cycles.

Recent financial actions include a $1.5 billion share-repurchase program in 2023 and a dividend yield near 1.2 %, underscoring capital-return discipline. Looking ahead, the sector’s exposure to sustainability trends-such as low-VOC formulations and powder-coat adoption-could create incremental growth opportunities, but the upside is contingent on the pace of regulatory adoption and raw-material cost stabilization.
