Sherwin-Williams (SHW) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter 2020 results on Apr 29, before the opening bell.
The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 2.9% in the last reported quarter. It beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters, while missed in the other two. In this timeframe, it delivered a positive surprise of roughly 0.7%, on average.
The company’s first-quarter results are expected to reflect the benefits from a favorable demand environment in North America. However, soft industrial demand in non-domestic markets is likely to have affected its performance.
Sherwin-Williams’ shares have gained 12.1% in the past year compared with the industry’s 11.7% growth.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Indicate?
The company, last month, said that it continues to project a 2-5% year over year rise in net sales for the first quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter total sales for Sherwin-Williams is currently pegged at $4,089 million, which suggests a rise of 1.2% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales in the Americas Group segment is currently pegged at $2,265 million, which indicates an increase of 5.1% year over year.
The consensus mark for net sales in the Consumer Brands Group segment is currently pegged at $647 million, which suggests a decline of 1.2% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales in the Performance Coatings Group segment is currently pegged at $1,225 million, which calls for a decline of 0.5% year over year.
Some Factors to Watch For
The company’s first-quarter results are likely to have benefited from sustained strength in architectural paint markets in North America. Sherwin-Williams is seeing strong demand in its domestic end-use markets and remains committed to expand its retail operations. Higher paint sales volumes are likely to have supported sales and margins in the Americas Group segment in the quarter to be reported.
Benefits of cost control and productivity improvement initiatives as well as pricing actions are also expected to reflect on the company’s first-quarter margins.
However, soft demand in non-domestic markets is likely to have hurt sales in the Performance Coatings Group unit in the first quarter. The coronavirus pandemic is expected to have affected industrial demand in non-domestic regions in the March quarter.
