Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) manufactures paints, coatings, and related products that cater primarily to the North and South American markets. The company’s stock has risen by about 40% this year, trading at levels of around $560 currently. The growth is driven by multiple factors, including stronger than expected Q2 earnings, strong demand from North America, price increases on its products, and the expansion of its retail footprint.
