Some Factors to Watch Out For
Sherwin-Williams is expected to have benefited from favorable demand in domestic markets in the third quarter. It is likely to have witnessed continued strong professional architectural demand in The Americas Group unit. The company is also likely to have benefited from higher sales in the Performance Coatings Group, driven by healthy sales volumes and pricing actions.
Sherwin-Williams’ cost-control initiatives, working capital reductions, supply chain optimization and productivity improvement are expected to have provided margin benefits in the quarter to be reported.
However, the company is expected to have faced headwinds from raw material availability and logistics constraints and cost inflation. Raw material availability associated with the pandemic is likely to have affected performance, especially in The Americas Group. Raw material pricing is likely to have been high in the September quarter. SHW is also likely to have been affected by higher labor and transportation costs.
Sherwin-Williams is also expected to have been challenged by weaker DIY demand in North America in the third quarter. It is also likely to have witnessed softer demand in Europe due to the sluggish macroeconomic environment. Moreover, lack of meaningful recovery in China following the lifting of pandemic-led restrictions is also expected to have affected the company.
