Sherwin-Williams, SHW, is the subject of market debate, with the company heavily dominated by institutional owners owning around
80% of shares. Its
stock price has seen mixed reactions from analysts, with Jefferies lowering its price target to $423, and investors questioning whether the current valuation is overly rich. Looking back, SHW shares have risen 2.5% since the last earnings report and
surged in Q3, driven by numerous factors. Nevertheless, recent news of a
dividend of $0.715 per common share and a
leadership transition - with President and CEO Heidi Petz ascending to the Chair role - had varying impacts.
There exists some optimism around
Sherwin-Williams as a
long-term growth stock, but Q3 earnings and revenues have reportedly missed estimates, causing some temporary stock devaluation. The anticipation now builds towards their next earnings release on January 30, 2025. Despite the occasional earnings miss, the company's five-year total shareholder returns reportedly
outpace underlying earnings growth, which may justify optimism around this stock for long-term investors.
