What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales for SHW for the to-be-reported quarter is currently pegged at $6,350.1 million, suggesting a rise of around 1.8% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales for SHW’s Consumer Brands Group for the second quarter is $923.4 million, implying a decline of 2.4% year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Performance Coatings Group is $1,793.6 million, which indicates a 0.07% fall. The consensus estimate for Paint Stores Group is $3,635.9 million, which suggests a rise of 4% from the year-ago reported number.
Factors to Note
Sherwin-Williams is likely to have benefited from its actions to expand its retail business in response to strong domestic demand. The company remains focused on gaining a larger share of its end markets, as evidenced by the increasing number of retail stores.
Sherwin-Williams' cost-cutting initiatives, supply chain efficiency and increased productivity are likely to have supported profits in the second quarter. Efforts to raise selling prices across all segments and acquisition gains are expected to have aided the company's earnings in the second quarter. Furthermore, its solid cash generation is likely to have resulted in significant returns to stockholders.
The company is taking restructuring measures focused on the Consumer Brands Group, Performance Coatings Group and corporate operations. SHW's cost-cutting actions are expected to have resulted in margin improvements in the second quarter. It is also projected to have benefited from moderating raw material costs.
However, demand weakness is likely to have persisted in new residential construction and the Consumer Brands Group's DIY division in North America. Sherwin-Williams is also likely to have encountered headwinds in certain of its Performance Coatings Group businesses. Sales in Packaging and General Industrial are expected to have remained under pressure due to weak demand.
