What is Sherwin-Williams' updated full-year outlook for raw material inflation, and how does it plan to offset this cost pressure?

Sherwin-Williams has raised its full-year raw material inflation outlook to 'up low to mid-single digits' and plans to offset this pressure through 'incremental, targeted price actions by customer geography and end markets,' resulting in a revised consolidated price mix expectation at 'the high end of our low-single digit range.'

Why does Sherwin-Williams expect supply stability despite Middle East conflict-related volatility, and where are its key raw material sourcing risks concentrated?

The company expects supply stability because over 80% of its consolidated revenue comes from North America, and the majority of raw materials for those sales are sourced regionally—making them 'largely insulated from supply disruption tied to the Strait of Hormuz volatility'—while supply risks are concentrated in Asia-Pacific and EMEA, where disruptions could be more challenging.
