Sherwin-Williams stock (ISIN US8243481061) was trading at USD 321.94 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, up 1.09 percent from USD 318.46. The company will publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 27, giving the recent market move a clear checkpoint.

October 27 sets the next test

According to Morningstar on October 1, 2026, Sherwin-Williams will release results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, before the market opens on October 27, 2026. Management is scheduled to discuss the quarter and its fourth-quarter and full-year outlook at 10:00 a.m. EDT the same date.

The latest reported quarter gives that date a demanding benchmark. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, consolidated net sales increased 7.5 percent year over year to USD 6.79 billion, while GAAP diluted EPS rose 14.3 percent to USD 3.43, according to Trivano in the July 28, 2026 results release.

Adjusted EPS rose 9.5 percent

The same release reported adjusted diluted EPS of USD 3.70 for Q2 2026, up 9.5 percent from USD 3.38 a year earlier. Net income reached USD 843.6 million, equal to 12.4 percent of sales, while EBITDA increased 13.8 percent to USD 1.43 billion.

Sherwin-Williams raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to USD 11.80-12.20, compared with USD 11.43 for fiscal 2025. The company also reported USD 1.49 billion in operating cash flow for the first half of 2026 and returned USD 2.23 billion through dividends and repurchases, including 5.6 million repurchased shares.

Consensus target stays above the quote
