Summary

Sherwin-Williams reported third-quarter 2026 net sales up 7.9% to $6.86 billion, diluted net income per share of $3.38 (up 0.9%) and net income down 1.5% to $821.0 million, and revised its full-year 2026 diluted net income per share guidance to $10.92–$11.22 while narrowing adjusted guidance to $11.85–$12.15. Chair, President and CEO Heidi G. Petz said customer sentiment and leading indicators point to muted demand for the rest of 2026 and into 2027, and attributed gross margin pressure to higher raw material and supply chain costs and mix, including dilution from the Suvinil acquisition.
