    Sherwin-Williams implements 8% price hike to counter housing weakness

    Direct answer

    The Motley Fool reports that Sherwin-Williams produced 8% consolidated net sales growth in the third quarter of 2026. Growth was achieved by implementing an 8% price hike within its Paint Stores Group to protect revenue against declining US single-family residential completions.
