↑ 5%Sherwin-Williams reports 7.5 % net sales growth in Q2 2026. The coatings manufacturer has published its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, reporting consolidated net sales of USD 6.79 billion and a net income increase of 11.8 % year on year, with growth recorded across all three business segments. 4 August 2026 Sherwin-Williams has reported its financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2026. Consolidated net sales rose 7.5 % to USD 6.79 billion, with net income reaching USD 843.6 million, or 12.4 % of net sales. EBITDA increased 13.8 % to USD 1.43 billion, representing 21.1 % of net sales. The sales increase was attributed to higher net sales across all three reportable segments, including a contribution from the October 2025 acquisition of Suvinil, and was partially offset by rising raw material costs and higher employee-related expenses. Segment results and pricing actions The Paint Stores Group reported net sales up 5.1 % to USD 3.89 billion, with same-store sales growth of 4.2 % and a double-digit percentage increase in protective and marine coatings. The Consumer Brands Group saw net sales grow 21.5 % to USD 983.5 million, supported by the Suvinil acquisition and favourable currency effects. The Performance Coatings Group posted a 6.3 % net sales increase to USD 1.91 billion, with General Industrial and Automotive Refinish each recording high-single digit percentage growth. In response to broad-based cost inflation, the company announced an 8 % price increase in the Paint Stores Group effective 1 September 2026. For the full year 2026, Sherwin-Williams raised its guidance, projecting consolidated net sales up a mid to high-single digit percentage and adjusted diluted net income per share in the range of USD 11.80 to USD 12.20.
Sherwin-Williams unveils 2027 Rewild paint collection with 48 handpicked hues. Published on 1 August 2026 at 8:06 pm - Written by Chris Martin - Reading duration: 3 minutes Sherwin-Williams unveiled its 2027 Colormix Trend Forecast, a collection called Rewild, featuring 48 handpicked hues curated by the paint brand's Trendsight Team to shape home interiors in the year ahead. The palette spans moody oxbloods and mossy greens to chalky whites, sun-baked clays, and rich jewel tones, all designed to be mixed, layered, and interpreted freely rather than following preset combinations. The 48 colors are organized into three distinct design stories - Revive, Reignite, and Reconnect - each reflecting a different emotional direction and design philosophy. Revive celebrates heritage and craftsmanship, drawing on history and artisan-made furnishings in rooms that accumulate character over time. Emily Kantz, an interior designer and color strategist on the Sherwin-Williams Colormix Trendsight Team, explained that this direction resonates particularly with younger homeowners seeking design "that has a story to it, that has a history to it, that has a presence," as a counterbalance to the constant digital updates of modern life. Reignite takes a bolder approach, embracing expressive colors, tactile contrast, and what the team calls "constructive chaos" - rooms that mix unexpected colors and finishes in an intentional way. Rather than treating color as a finishing touch, this story positions it as the emotional engine of a room. Kantz noted that "people are really leaning into color" and want something that shows their personality and authentic self. Interior designer Kathy Kuo, founder and CEO of Kathy Kuo Home, observed that "color has transitioned from accent to true identity," with clients seeking greater tonal depth in deep greens, oxblood reds, and warm bronze after years of playing it safe for resale appeal. Reconnect reads the palette through an elemental lens, focusing on mineral and earth-derived tones including Eminent Bronze, Universal Khaki, and Perfect Greige. These are not pale, noncommittal nature neutrals but shades with grit, depth, and a weathered quality - more soil, stone, lichen, and woodsmoke than generic beige. Kantz highlighted Eminent Bronze as a color she's "seeing everywhere, just popping up in doses," noting its mossy-green quality. The forecast stems from research across Sherwin-Williams' industrial wood, coatings, and residential design divisions. Contributors track trends across furniture, flooring, automotive, and aerospace finishes, with some team members looking five to 10 years ahead. When the Trendsight Team convenes, they compare colors and cultural shifts tracked across disciplines and regions, looking for ideas that recur across multiple markets. Of the 48 hues, 10 are designated as "Continuity Colors" - shades the brand sees as having particular longevity across rooms, styles, and applications. These include Cordovan (a rich wine red), Clove (a charcoal-brown), Roycroft Bronze Green, and Forged Steel (a blue-leaning charcoal), among others. Kuo emphasized that the shift toward personal, layered color choices doesn't require every room to share one matching scheme. "Let each room have its own emotional register," she said, "moodier in a library, brighter in a kitchen, quieter in a bedroom, as long as there's a thread connecting them." Sherwin-Williams will select its 2027 Color of the Year from the Rewild collection later in the year. All 48 hues are available at Sherwin-Williams stores nationwide and online, with sample options including peel-and-stick sheets, Color To Go paint samples, and free color chips for designers, homeowners, and professionals.

Sherwin-Williams, founded in 1866 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is the world's largest paint and coatings company by revenue, generating approximately $23.1 billion in net sales in fiscal 2024. The company develops, manufactures, distributes and sells paints, coatings and related products through three operating segments: the Americas Group, Consumer Brands Group, and Performance Coatings Group, reaching customers through nearly 5,000 company-operated stores as well as major retailers under brands including Sherwin-Williams, Valspar, Dutch Boy, Krylon and Minwax. Following the print, management raised full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $11.80 to $12.20 from a prior range of $11.50 to $11.90, and lifted full-year net sales growth expectations to mid to high single digits, driven by pricing, new customer wins and expanded share of existing accounts, even as chief executive Heidi Petz cited 'no meaningful improvement' in underlying demand across the industry. Price Increase and Disciplined Capital Allocation Sherwin-Williams carries a market capitalization of approximately $87.38 billion and trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25.79 and a trailing P/E of 30.67, with reported earnings per share of $11.55. Shares have traded in a 52-week range of $289.86 to $379.65, and the stock offers a dividend yield of 0.90 percent. Management announced plans for an 8 percent price increase in its Paint Stores Group effective September 1, reflecting expected acceleration in raw material inflation to high single digits in the second half of the year. The company also disclosed it walked away from a joint bid with Nippon for Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE:AXTA) after not receiving desired engagement, citing disciplined capital allocation, and returned $1.5 billion to shareholders in the quarter through accelerated share repurchases and dividends. Conclusion Sherwin-Williams' sharp rally reflects strong execution on pricing and market share gains even in a demand environment the company itself describes as showing no meaningful improvement. With a disciplined approach to capital allocation, including the decision to step away from the Axalta bid, and raised full-year guidance now in place, the September price increase will be a key data point for whether the company can sustain margin expansion into the back half of the year.
