Sherwin-Williams stock holds firm after July 28 earnings beat
Published on 08/22/2026 at 10:51 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Sherwin-Williams stock is anchored by a $347.02 opening price, a $84.24 billion market cap and July 28 earnings that topped estimates. The Sherwin-Williams Company (US8243481051) reported $3.70 in adjusted EPS and $6.79 billion in revenue, with revenue up 7.5% year over year.
July results still matter
That July 28 report gave the shares a clear operating base: EPS of $3.70 beat the $3.52 consensus by $0.18, and net margin came in at 11.01%. Revenue also moved ahead of the $6.60 billion estimate, which keeps the latest quarter the key frame for investors on August 22, 2026.
The market is still leaning positive. Consensus on the stock stands at Moderate Buy, with an average target price of $385.44 and a 1-year range of $289.86 to $379.65.
Guidance stays in view
Management guided fiscal 2026 EPS to $11.80 to $12.20, while analysts on average expect $12.08 for the full year. That leaves the company trading against a guidance band that already frames the debate over margin durability and housing demand.
Dividend details add another dated data point: the quarterly payout is $0.80 per share, or $3.20 annualized, with an ex-dividend date of August 21, 2026 and payment set for September 11, 2026.
Paint and coatings
Sherwin-Williams makes paint, coatings and related products for professional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Its three segments cover paint stores, consumer brands and performance coatings, with products ranging from architectural paint and stains to automotive finishes and protective coatings.
