BeStock Grade
Composite of 4 factors below, ranked against the 3741 U.S. stocks BeStock covers.

How this is scored: each factor above is a 0–100 percentile rank against every other stock BeStock covers (or, for Wall Street, against the five-point Strong Buy–Sell scale). The overall grade is the plain average of whichever factors apply to this stock — no factor is weighted more than another. That average maps to a letter: A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50, D ≥ 30, otherwise F. Recomputed from the data on this page as prices and filings update — it describes where a stock ranks today, not a forecast, and not a BeStock recommendation to buy or sell.

What tends to move it. Housing activity, remodeling demand and raw material costs drive earnings.
Where the case gets weaker. Housing activity staying weak for longer, or a pullback in remodeling spending, would cut demand across Sherwin-Williams' store network, and higher raw material costs without matching price increases would compress the margins that have supported its steady record.
