(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) stock increased by 8.00%, and in the past year, by 15.26%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>Sherwin-Williams P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Sherwin-Williams has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 167.42 of the Chemicals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747332065_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SHW Stock</h1>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, with Sherwin-Williams, it is in the Materials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Sherwin-Williams's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sherwin-Williams's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.45%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Wells Fargo analyst Michael Sison upgrades Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raises the price target from $350 to $420.

Wells Fargo Upgrades Sherwin-Williams to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $420

Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) reported first-quarter financial results before the market open on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key metrics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062385/the-sherwin-williams-company-reports-2025-first-quarter-financial-results">from the quarter</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $5.31 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $5.4 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 Adjusted EPS: $2.25, versus estimates of $2.16 per share</li>
</ul>
Sherwin-Williams said total sales declined 1.1% year-over-year. Consumer Brands Group sales fell 6% year-over-year, primarily due to &#8220;soft&#8221; DIY demand in North America. Performance Coating Group sales were down 4.8% in the quarter. Paint Stores Group sales fared better, seeing 1.2% sales growth during the period, primarily driven by selling price increases. 
The company returned&nbsp;$552.1 million&nbsp;to shareholders in the first quarter in the form of dividends and repurchases. Sherwin-Williams ended the period with $199.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.
&#8220;In a demand environment that remained choppy as we anticipated, Sherwin-Williams continued to execute our strategy and delivered solid&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;results driven by gross margin expansion and good cost control,&#8221; said Heidi Petz, chair, president and CEO of Sherwin-Williams.

Guidance: Sherwin-Williams expects second-quarter revenue to be up or down in the low-single digit percentage range. The company guided for full-year 2025 net sales growth in the low-single digit percentage range. 
Sherwin-Williams also expects full-year adjusted earnings of $11.65 to $12.05 per share versus estimates of $11.90 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
&#8220;We continue to expect demand softness to persist in several end markets well into the second half of the year. Regarding current tariffs, it&#8217;s important to remember that the largest portion of our revenue is in&nbsp;the United States, and the majority of our raw materials are sourced in the regions where we manufacture. In a macro-economic environment that remains turbulent, we are focused on being a source of stability and reliability for our customers, providing them with differentiated solutions that increase their productivity and profitability,&#8221; Petz said.
SHW Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SHW">Sherwin-Williams shares</a> were up 5.46% at $350.33 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Insights into Sherwin-Williams's Upcoming Earnings

President Donald Trump&#8216;s ongoing tariff policy changes have resulted in persistent market volatility and uncertainty. This has increased investors' appetite for stable, defensive stocks paying steady dividends. Dividend stocks have <a href="https://www.hartfordfunds.com/dam/en/docs/pub/whitepapers/WP106.pdf">contributed</a> significantly to overall market returns during the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s, when average annual total returns were lower.
About seven months ago, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1fldncg/finally_hit_300k_goal/">shared</a> his monthly dividend income details and portfolio on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with over 700,000 followers. The income report shared by the investor showed his monthly dividend income was $23,800, with a projected annual dividend income of just over $300,000.

</ul>
The investor, in his mid-50s, said he had about 150 holdings in his portfolio worth roughly $4.4 million. Asked how he was able to accumulate wealth to build such a large portfolio, he said it took him years to reach this milestone:
"Started at $3.50 per hour. Went back to school in my early 30s as did my wife. Definitely no inheritance and student loans to boot. Just 35 years of investing."
The investor said over $2 million of his wealth came from "decades of trading" biotech company Immunomedics, which was <a href="https://www.gilead.com/news/news-details/2020/gilead-sciences-to-acquire-immunomedics">bought</a> by Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) in 2020 for $88 per share.&nbsp;
