Sherwin-Williams (ISIN US8243481061) was trading at USD 319.01 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 77.4 billion. The latest earnings report showed Q2 2026 revenue of USD 6.79 billion, up 7.5 percent year over year, keeping operating performance at the center of the stock story.
Quarterly revenue rises 7.5 percent
According to MarketBeat on September 26, 2026, Sherwin-Williams posted adjusted EPS of USD 3.70 for Q2 2026, above the USD 3.52 consensus estimate by USD 0.18. The same report said revenue exceeded the USD 6.60 billion estimate by USD 0.19 billion.
The earnings mix matters because the revenue increase was accompanied by a higher adjusted earnings figure. MarketBeat also reported that fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance stood at USD 11.80-12.20, giving investors a defined range for the full year.
Guidance meets the October checkpoint
Sherwin-Williams is scheduled to announce Q3 2026 results before the market opens on October 27, 2026. Yahoo Finance reported on October 1, 2026, that the company will hold its earnings call at 10:00 a.m. EDT the same day.
That date puts the next test on the calendar: whether the Q2 growth rate and the USD 11.80-12.20 adjusted EPS guidance range can hold through the third quarter. The release is expected to include results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, plus the outlook for the fourth quarter and full year.
Analysts keep a Moderate Buy view
MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus on October 2, 2026, based on 18 analysts: one Strong Buy, nine Buy and eight Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target was USD 387.47, while the published target range extended from USD 340.00 to USD 420.00.
The consensus sits alongside a stock price below its yearly peak. For investors, that creates a clear numerical tension between the current quotation and the earnings assumptions embedded in analyst targets, while the next company update remains the key dated checkpoint.
