Sherwin-Williams Q1 Earnings: I Love The Business, Not The Stock Price
Sherwin-Williams reported Q1 2025 earnings with EPS beating expectations, revenue missing slightly, and reaffirmed full-year EPS guidance, sending the stock up almost 5%. Despite strong fundamentals and long-term outperformance, the current valuation looks fair at best, leading me to a Hold rating on SHW stock for now. Q1 results showed a 3.7% YoY increase in adjusted EPS, a slight revenue decline, improved operating and EBITDA margins, and positive same-store sales growth in the Paint Stores Group.
