NEGATIVE IMPACT
Sherwin-Williams exceeded Q4 revenue and EPS estimates, reported year-over-year sales growth, and expanded gross margins. The company provided FY24 EPS guidance slightly below analyst expectations.
Despite the positive earnings report, the conservative EPS guidance for FY24 compared to analyst expectations and the current stock price decline suggest a short-term negative impact on SHW's stock price.
