The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW)
Basic Materials · Chemicals - Specialty · Data as of 2026-10-22
Bottom line
SHW is trading near its usual valuation, in the middle of its recent price range, and recent volume shows no clear direction. The picture is mixed, so it may be worth watching rather than acting on. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Near its usual asset-based value (Yellow)
SHW is in a cyclical industry, where earnings swing with the economy, so we compare its price-to-book of 21.1× with its own typical level (20.5×). Its current multiple sits around the 21st percentile of its own last five years — toward the low end of its own range.
Quality check: debt-to-equity of 3.7× runs well above the 1.1× median of the peers we track — leverage cuts both ways across a cycle.
Price zones — In the middle of its recent range (Yellow)
At $345.63, the stock sits between its recent support and resistance levels. Over the past year SHW has traded between $289.86 and $377.77; its historical support zone sits near $333.30 and resistance near $377.77. It is above both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled an uptrend.
52-week range $289.86–$377.77 · 50-day average $332.04 · 200-day average $333.30
Money flow — No clear direction (Yellow)
Buying and selling volume in SHW have been fairly balanced recently, with no strong accumulation or distribution pattern. Volume on up days has been about 0.9× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.
Dividends & company facts
SHW paid $3.19 a share in dividends over the past year — 0.92% of today's price — and has raised it in each of the last five years. It returned more through buybacks: $1.5 billion in fiscal 2025, about 1.9% of its market value.

一句话结论
SHW 估值接近其惯常水平，处于近期价格区间的中部，近期成交量没有明确方向。整体情况好坏参半，也许更适合先观察，而不是急于行动。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 接近其惯常的资产估值水平
SHW 所在的行业具有周期性，盈利会随经济起伏，因此我们把它 21.1× 的市净率与其自身惯常的水平（20.5×）作比较。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 21 百分位——处于自身区间的偏低位置。
质量核对：3.7×的债务股本比明显高于我们追踪的同行 1.1×的中位数——在周期中，杠杆是双刃剑。
价格区间 — 处于近期区间的中部
目前价格为 $345.63，位于其近期的支撑位与阻力位之间。过去一年 SHW 的价格在 $289.86 到 $377.77 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $333.30 附近，阻力区在 $377.77 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线上方，这在历史上通常对应上升趋势。
资金流向 — 方向不明确
SHW 近期的买卖成交量大致均衡，没有明显的吸筹或派发形态。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 0.9×。
股息与公司概况
SHW 过去一年每股派息 3.19 美元，相当于当前股价的 0.92%，过去五年每年都有上调。它通过回购返还了更多：2025 财年回购 15.2亿美元，约占市值的 1.9%。
