Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$153.67

-53.3% from spot

Under the base path, Sherwin-Williams maintains steady volume growth across its captive store network, capitalizing on commercial contractor loyalty to outpace broader residential construction completions. While operational execution remains solid, the target price of $153.67 at a 55.0% probability implies a -53.3% return from the share price at $329.10 (as of 2026-09-25), reflecting significant market multiple compression toward Fair value $153.67.

Moderate top-line revenue expansion anchored by steady commercial repaint activity and low-single-digit store volume gains.
Operating margin stabilizes near recent levels through ongoing operating cost leverage and selective price realization.
Reinvestment rate moderates gradually while disciplined capital allocation sustains store network additions.

Bull20%

Price target

$176.13

-46.5% from spot

In the bull path, a sharp recovery in North American housing turnover drives surging architectural repaint demand, while the Performance Coatings Group accelerates industrial account wins through rapid local blending batch delivery. Supported by expanding operating margins and accelerated capital returns, the target price reaches $176.13 with a 20.0% probability, yielding a -46.5% return compared to the share price at $329.10 (as of 2026-09-25).

Vigorous rebound in existing home turnover and residential completions driving accelerated repaint demand.
Rapid market share gains in industrial coatings powered by local blending speed advantages.
Operating margin expands toward new peaks on strong pricing power and raw material deflation.
