Published on 10/29/2026 at 17:55 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSGrowth Meets Cost Discipline
- Third-quarter sales increased 7.9 percent year over year to USD 6.86 billion.
- Adjusted earnings guidance for 2026 was narrowed to USD 11.85 to USD 12.15 per share, while the midpoint remained unchanged.
- Management expects softer demand and continued market choppiness into 2027.
Sherwin-Williams added a new cost-efficiency target to its post-earnings outlook on October 27, 2026. In the earnings call, management said restructuring and further cost actions are expected to generate approximately USD 75 million in savings in 2027. The third-quarter results were reported in a company release carried by PR Newswire.
What Has Changed Since The Last Report
The latest own report already covered the sales increase, margin pressure and the narrowed 2026 earnings range. The additional call detail is the quantified 2027 savings target. Investing.com reported that the target includes approximately USD 25 million linked to restructuring actions taken in the second and third quarters of 2026, with additional fourth-quarter actions under review.
Sales Growth, But Pressure On Margins
Sherwin-Williams reported third-quarter sales of USD 6.86 billion, up 7.9 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased about 1 percent, while adjusted EBITDA rose 3.3 percent to USD 1.40 billion. Higher raw-material and supply-chain costs, the Suvinil acquisition and higher service expenses weighed on the conversion of sales growth into earnings.
Management expects customer sentiment and leading indicators to point to muted demand through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. It also expects raw-material inflation in the low- to mid-single-digit range next year, with the greatest year-over-year effect in the first half. The company plans to provide a more detailed 2027 outlook with its January earnings call.
