Description: SHW Sherwin-Williams
The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) manufactures, distributes and sells paint, coatings and related products across three operating segments: the Paint Stores Group, which supplies architectural paints, protective and marine coatings, and OEM finishes to contractors and DIY homeowners under the Sherwin-Williams brand; the Consumer Brands Group, which provides a broad portfolio of branded and private-label paints, stains, varnishes, wood finishes, adhesives and related applicators to home-center retailers, hardware stores and independent dealers; and the Performance Coatings Group, which develops industrial-grade coatings for wood finishing, automotive refinishing, protective and marine applications, coil and packaging coatings, as well as performance-based resins and colorants for a network of retailers, dealers, jobbers and licensees.
Geographically, SHW operates in North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Australia, leveraging a vertically integrated supply chain that supports both retail-focused and industrial-focused customers. The company’s exposure to macro-drivers such as U.S. housing starts (which rose ~5 % YoY in Q2 2025) and automotive mileage (a key determinant of refinishing demand) makes its revenue somewhat cyclical, though the diversified product mix and strong brand loyalty provide a cushion during downturns.
From a financial standpoint, SHW reported FY 2023 revenue of roughly $20.1 billion with an adjusted operating margin of about 15 % and adjusted EPS of $8.84, supporting a dividend yield near 2.5 % and a share-repurchase program that returned $2.3 billion to shareholders in 2023. The firm’s net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio sits around 2.0 ×, indicating moderate leverage relative to peers in the specialty chemicals sector, while its free cash flow generation (~$2.5 billion) underpins ongoing capital allocation.
