After hosting investor meetings with management, Deutsche Bank analyst Nishu Sood says that that barring macro turmoil, Sherwin-Williams' 2019 should look much better than 2018 did. With so many factors dragging on Sherwin's results in fiscal 2018, the end result is that doubt has crept into investors' minds about the company's longer-term ability to drive earnings growth, Sood tells investors in a research note. He disagrees, and thinks this doubt creates opportunity in Sherwin's stock. "Not only do we see Sherwin's ability to drive growth longer-term as intact, but also, we think this growth potential is compelling and multi-faceted," says the analyst. Sherwin-Williams remains one of his picks in the building products space.
