MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

SHW Pros and Cons Explained These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Sherwin-Williams pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com. Sherwin-Williams Bull Case Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Sherwin-Williams Company: The Sherwin-Williams Company reported earnings per share of $2.09 for the latest quarter, surpassing the consensus estimate of $2.07, indicating strong financial performance and effective management. The company has a high return on equity of 74.50%, which suggests that it is highly efficient in generating profits from its equity investments, making it an attractive option for investors seeking strong returns. Recently, The Sherwin-Williams Company increased its quarterly dividend to $0.79, reflecting a commitment to returning value to shareholders. This increase from the previous dividend of $0.72 demonstrates financial growth and stability. Analysts have a consensus price target of $401.13 for the stock, with many rating it as a "Moderate Buy," indicating positive sentiment and potential for price appreciation. Insider ownership stands at 0.60%, which can be a positive sign as it suggests that those with the most knowledge of the company have a vested interest in its success. Sherwin-Williams Bear Case Investors should be bearish about investing in The Sherwin-Williams Company for these reasons: Despite the positive earnings report, the company has faced price target reductions from some analysts, such as Jefferies Financial Group, which lowered its target from $423.00 to $380.00, indicating potential concerns about future growth. The stock has seen insider selling, with Colin M. Davie selling 2,799 shares, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance. The current dividend yield is relatively low at 0.93%, which may not be attractive for income-focused investors compared to other investment opportunities. Market volatility and economic uncertainties could impact the company's performance, especially in the specialty chemicals sector, which is sensitive to economic cycles. With a payout ratio of 29.95%, while sustainable, it indicates that a significant portion of earnings is being returned to shareholders, potentially limiting funds available for reinvestment in growth initiatives.
