MW Sherwin-Williams' stock falls as sales fall short of estimates in choppy market

Sherwin-Williams Co.'s stock $(SHW)$ fell 2.9% early Thursday, after the paints company's fourth-quarter sales fell short of estimates, offsetting a profit beat.

Cleveland-based Sherwin-Williams, which joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average in November, had per-share earnings of $1.90 a share for the quarter, up 36.7% from a year ago. Adjusted for one-time items, EPS came to $2.09, ahead of the $2.06 FactSet consensus.

Sales rose to $5.297 billion from $5.252 billion a year ago, below the $5.319 billion FactSet consensus.

CEO Heidi G. Petz said the number were hit by "continued demand choppiness" in most of the company's end markets.
