How this market cap is arrived at
| Shares outstanding | 242,758,151 |

Single common class, no ADR. Sherwin-Williams holds a very large treasury block (issued shares far exceed outstanding); use the outstanding figure only. Continuous buyback.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. Provenance.
Fundamentals
| From the 10-K for the year ended 2025-12-31 | USD | As reported |
|---|---|---|
| Revenueus-gaap:RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax | $23.6bn | |
| Net incomeus-gaap:NetIncomeLoss | $2.6bn | |

| Cash & equivalentsus-gaap:CashAndCashEquivalentsAtCarryingValue | $207m |
Net margin 10.9% — net income divided by revenue, both from this same filing.
Market cap / net income 32.6× — a market value from 2026-08-28 divided by earnings for a year that ended 2025-12-31. The two dates are far apart on purpose: this is arithmetic on two published numbers, not a valuation.
Every figure above is read from the same 10-K, filed 2026-02-19, and each row names the XBRL tag it came from so it can be checked against the document. Metrics absent from that filing are absent here rather than sourced from a different year — a table mixing periods is individually true and collectively meaningless.

6 naming systems for one entity — only codes we actually hold are listed, with no gaps filled by guessing. Sources: LEI from GLEIF (CC0), ISIN read from the issuer's own primary listing document, with its ISO 6166 check digit validated, FIGI from OpenFIGI (open standard), MIC from the ISO 10383 registry. CUSIP appears because it is arithmetically embedded in US and Canadian ISINs — we derive and verify it from a code we already hold, and we do not redistribute CUSIP Global Services data. Each linked code opens its reverse-lookup page; the validator checks any code's check digit. seed-0.7 · marketcap-1 · 2026-08-30.
