TOKYO and CLEVELAND, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nippon Paint Group and Sherwin-Williams note today's press release issued by AkzoNobel regarding their proposal to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of AkzoNobel (the "Joint Proposal"). The Joint Proposal was rejected by the Boards of AkzoNobel, and Nippon Paint Group and Sherwin-Williams are considering their next steps, if any.

Akzo Nobel says it has rejected a joint bid from Sherwin and Nippon Paint at an indicative price of 73 euros per share.

Shares of AkzoNobel surged on Wednesday after the Dutch paints and coatings maker disclosed that it had rejected a €12.49 billion ($14.53 billion) takeover proposal from Japan's Nippon Paint Holdings and US-based Sherwin-Williams. The stock climbed as much as 17% in early European trading to 61.38 euros, wiping out losses accumulated earlier this year, after investors reacted positively to the premium implied in the rejected proposal.

The paint maker said it was sticking to its plan to combine with Axalta Coating Systems.

Dulux paint maker AkzoNobel has rejected ‌a cash takeover offer of €73 ($85) per share from rivals Nippon Paint and Sherwin-Williams , the Dutch company said on Wednesday, sending its shares 16% higher.

The Sherwin-Williams Company is rated Sell due to a premium valuation unsupported by near-term fundamentals and softening end-market demand. Q1 '26 results showed headline growth, but organic constant-currency growth was weak, with volumes declining and acquisitions/FX driving most gains. Management reaffirmed full-year EPS guidance but shifted composition to pricing-led growth as volumes are now expected to decline low single digits.

Sherwin-Williams NYSE: SHW fell about 3.5% the day the company delivered its Q1 2026 earnings report. At a time when most investors are attuned to look beyond the headline numbers, the company's guidance came in flat.
