About Sherwin-Williams
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Sherwin-Williams is based in Cleveland, Ohio and is incorporated in Ohio. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker SHW. It is a member of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. The SEC classifies its business as retail-building materials, hardware, garden supply. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $23.57bn and net income of $2.57bn. At that date it held total assets of $25.90bn and shareholders' equity of $4.60bn.
The Company reports its segment information in the same way that management internally organizes its business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. The Company has three reportable operating segments: Paint Stores Group, Consumer Brands Group and Performance Coatings Group (individually, a Reportable Segment and collectively, the Reportable Segments). The Company reports all other business activities and immaterial operating segments that are not reportable in the Administrative function. For further information about the Reportable Segments, see Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
Paint Stores Group consisted of 4,853 company-operated specialty paint stores in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean region at December 31, 2025. Each store is engaged in servicing the needs of architectural and industrial paint contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners. These stores market and sell Sherwin-Williams® and other controlled brand architectural paint and coatings, protective and marine products, OEM product finishes and related products. The majority of these products are produced by manufacturing facilities in the Consumer Brands Group. In addition, each store sells select purchased associated products. The loss of any single customer would not have a material adverse effect on the business of this segment.

SWOT analysis
AI-generated by our data supplier. Not written or checked by our editors.
Strengths
- Sherwin-Williams Co has several strengths that contribute to its success in the market. Firstly, the company has a strong brand presence and a positive reputation. This allows it to attract loyal customers and gain a competitive edge over its rivals. Secondly, Sherwin-Williams Co has a wide range of high-quality products, including paints, coatings, and related items. The company's extensive product portfolio caters to diverse customer needs, boosting its market share. Thirdly, Sherwin-Williams Co has a well-established distribution network, enabling it to efficiently reach customers across various geographic areas.
Weaknesses
- Despite its strengths, Sherwin-Williams Co also faces certain weaknesses that need to be addressed. One key weakness is the significant dependence on the North American market. This reliance makes the company vulnerable to economic fluctuations and market-specific risks, limiting its global growth potential. Additionally, Sherwin-Williams Co's high product pricing, although justified by its quality, may discourage price-sensitive consumers from purchasing its products.
Opportunities
- Sherwin-Williams Co can explore numerous opportunities to expand its business further. Firstly, the growing global construction industry provides an opportunity for the company to tap into new markets and increase its sales volume. Secondly, the rising demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products presents an opening for Sherwin-Williams Co to develop and market more environmentally friendly options. Moreover, the emerging trend of home renovation and improvement projects offers the company a chance to target a wider customer base.
Threats
- Sherwin-Williams Co faces several threats that could potentially hinder its growth and profitability. First and foremost, intense competition from both well-established players and new entrants in the market poses a threat to the company's market position. Additionally, the company's reliance on raw material suppliers exposes it to supply chain risks and price volatility. Moreover, economic downturns and fluctuations in the housing market can negatively impact consumer spending on home improvement products, affecting Sherwin-Williams Co's sales.
