The Sherwin-Williams Company reported strong second-quarter results for the period ending June 30, 2026.
Net sales climbed 7.5% year-over-year to $6.79 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 9.5% to $3.70.
The manufacturer outperformed the broader market despite stagnant global demand. CEO Heidi Petz attributed the growth to strategic investments and market share gains across all business segments. The company also benefited from new account acquisitions during the quarter.
Sherwin-Williams raised its full-year 2026 financial guidance following the performance. The company now expects annual net sales to increase by a mid- to high-single-digit percentage. Management increased the adjusted diluted earnings forecast to a range of $11.80 to $12.20 per share.
