The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW) forecast
The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW) forecast: price $343.77, trailing P/E 30.80, forward P/E 28.43. How to read the street's path.
The live SHW price is $343.77. Trailing P/E is 30.80 and forward P/E is 28.43. The forecast that matters is the earnings path those ratios imply, not a single target price.
A forward P/E below the trailing P/E means the consensus expects earnings to rise. The reverse means the market is looking at a peak. Neither is a schedule. Analyst targets are useful as a range of models. They are not a contract. Discounted cash flow is the long form: cash flows, a discount rate, and a terminal value you can argue with.
