		<description><![CDATA[Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW) will release its results for the third quarter of 2011 before the market opens on October 25, 2011. Sherwin-Williams reported net earnings of $1.58 per share in the second quarter of 2011 missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.77 per share.  However, excluding charges of 8 cents per share relating to costs to repurchase $84.9 million of long-term debt, diluted net income was $1.66 per share versus $1.64 per share in the prior year quarter. The second quarter earnings were at the low end of the company’s guidance range due to high raw material costs versus the timing of its price increases. In the upcoming quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sherwin-Williams is pegged at a profit of $1.70 per share, reflecting an annualized growth of 6.15%. ]]></description>

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Sherwin Williams Company (SHW) as it is recovering with improving domestic and international sales of automotive finishes, original equipment manufacturers’ product finishes, and protective and marine coatings. The Paint segment has also seen some rebound. The company is focused on capturing a larger share of its end-markets, as is evident from the increasing number of stores. Sherwin reported net earnings of $0.63 per share in the first quarter of 2011, more than double of $0.30 per share in the year-ago period and up $0.11 from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.52. The first-quarter earnings also whizzed past the company’s guided range of $0.48 to $0.58 per share. Net sales for the quarter increased 19% year over year to $1.85 billion driven by acquisitions ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Valspar Corporation’s (VAL) Valspar Paint launched the first indoor decorative paint, which has been certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The Valspar Plus paint, certified as asthma and allergy friendly, decreases airborne irritants and enhances the painting process of people with respiratory sensitivities. The Valspar Plus is odor-free and has zero volatile organic compounds. The antimicrobial characteristics of the coating provide resistance to mildew and mold. The company has developed the Valspar Plus in response to the market requirement for a paint that meets the needs of Americans suffering from allergies and asthma. The benefits offered by the paint include one-coat coverage with lifetime warranty, stain resistance, high durability, exceptional quality and performance. It is easy to wash and maintain once the paint has dried. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our Underperform recommendation on Masco Corporation (MAS), which manufactures, sells, and installs home improvement and building products. The company earns 75-80% of revenues from the operations in North America, primarily in the U.S., while its international operations are located principally in Belgium, China, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.K. The company’s principal customer Home Depot, buys approximately 20%-30% of its production. Masco recently reported its fiscal first quarter results delivering a loss of 5 cents per share in stark contrast to a profit of $0.03 per share during the year-earlier quarter. The company’s loss was broader than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 3 cents.

The year-ago rate of 5.09 million was depressed as everyone was rushing to get the deals done in November 2009 before they thought the first time buyer tax credit would expire. The tax credit was unexpectedly extended (and expanded) at the last minute. Thus, take the year-over-year rise with a grain of salt. The January sales rate was above consensus expectations of a 5.23 million annual rate. On the other hand, December was revised down from an initial read of 5.28 million, so relative to where we thought we were, the month-to-month increase was just 1.5%.

Many of the larger companies operate in all or most of these segments, while specialized operators are numerous. Basic chemicals or commodity chemicals form the major chunk of the chemical industry. Products here include polymers, plastics, bulk petrochemicals and intermediates, other derivatives and basic industrials, inorganic chemicals and fertilizers. Of these, polymers generate ]]></description>

(VAL) recorded net income of $75.1 million or 74 cents per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, up 15.5% from last year’s $65 million or 61 cents per share. Earnings were helped by a stronger catings business that negated subdued performance in the paints business. However, adjusting for restructuring charges and gain from sale of assets, earnings of 70 cents narrowly missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents. Revenues Quarterly revenues climbed 10% to $873.9 million helped by new business efforts, offsetting higher raw material costs, yet it missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $878 million. Cost control efforts reduced operating expenses, which as a percent of sales were 20.9% versus last year’s 22.6%. However, cost of sales jumped 16% to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK After the sharp declines in the last two years, we expect worldwide chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) to recover, albeit at a slow rate. At a global level, we currently expect that chemical production will require another couple of years to return to production levels seen before the crisis. In industrialized countries, severe declines in production as a result of the global financial and economic crisis will have longer-lasting effects. The North American chemical production is expected to experience above-average growth in 2010, with domestic demand improving from the key customer industries. Chemical giant BASF is expecting about 10% growth in the U.S. chemical industry on the back of rising demand for exports. We believe aggressive efforts in working capital reductions, supply chain optimization and productivity improvement should yield margin ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Existing Home Sales rose 6.8% in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million. That rate is 16.1% higher than the 4.61 million rate of a year ago. The number was slightly better than the consensus expectations of a 5.29 million annual rate. Existing homes sales are recorded at the time of closing, not when the contract is signed. Thus while there is some impact from the tax credit that expires for houses where the contract is signed after April 30, they still have until the end of June to close. Therefore, most of the surge due to the end of the tax credit will probably come in May and June. In tomorrow’s New Home Sales data, the effect should be more pronounced for March, since new home ]]></description>

This was just 7.0% above the extremely depressed rate of a year ago. However, it was slightly better than the consensus expectations of a 5.00 million rate. Existing home sales shot up in the fall as people thought that the “first-time buyer&#8221; tax credit was going to expire on them. The credit was not only extended at the last minute, but it was expanded to non-first-time buyers as well. To qualify for the extended tax credit, people must be under contract by the end of April and close by the end of June. As the first graph below (from http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/) shows, the extended tax credit has not packed nearly as ]]></description>

The profit was higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents per share. Sherwin-Williams believed the appropriate steps taken by operating segments to control costs and improve efficiencies have led to the improvement in profit. However, the profit declined to $3.82 per share in 2009 from $4.31 per share in 2008. Consolidated net sales slipped 5.9% to $1.6 billion in the quarter and 11.1% to $7.09 billion in the year due to weak paint sales volume.

		<description><![CDATA[The National Association of Realtors reported this morning that in December Existing Homes Sales plunged 16.7% from November, to an annual rate of 5.45 million. That rate was, however, 15.0% below the extremely depressed 4.74 million rate in December 2008. While inventories also dropped (as is seasonally normal), falling 6.6% on the month and down 11.1% year over year, the bigger drop in sales meant the months of supply on the market increased to 7.2 months from 6.5 months in November. There are currently 3.29 million existing houses for sale in the county, down from a peak of 4.58 million in July 2008. So we are seeing some progress if one steps back and looks at the longer-term picture. The other good news is that the median price of a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that Pending Home Sales plunged 16.0% in November from October, but are 15.5% above year-ago levels. Used home sales are recorded at closing &#8212; not when the deal is reached &#8212; which often results in a delay of as much as two months. The pending home sales report is based on the number of handshakes, and is thus a good leading indicator of the number of closings over the next month or two. In recent months, used home sales (which are what the report tracks) have been much stronger than new home sales. Historically there had been a stable relationship of about 6 existing home sales for every new home sale; in November, the ratio was 18 to one. However, the tax credit ]]></description>

Sales were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.10 million, up from 5.54% in September and a 4.94 million pace a year ago. Existing single family home sales rose by 9.7% to a 5.33 million pace, while condo sales soared by 13.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 770,000. Sales have been greatly aided by the &#8220;first time&#8221; homebuyer tax credit, which while eventually extended and expanded, for most of the month looked like was about to expire. Thus, in October people were scrambling to try to get in under the wire. This is the fifth straight month that existing home sales have exceeded year-ago levels. Even more impressive is the fact ]]></description>

Cost reduction helped the modest improvement in profits. In the first nine months of 2009, the company reduced its selling, general and administrative expenses by nearly $94 million, and improved its working capital ratio to 12.5% from 13% last year. Net sales in the quarter declined 64% year over year to $2 billion. Weak demand in the residential and commercial architectural paint market and lower sales in industrial coatings and non-paint categories lead to a 13.5% decrease in net sales in the Paint Stores segment ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Existing home sales rose 7.2% from last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.24 million from June’s rate of 4.89 million. This was also 5.0% above the year-ago level of 4.99 million, and the consensus expectations of 5.0 million. This is very good news. The only real weak spots I saw in the report were that inventories rose by 7.3%, so despite the increased sales rate, the months of supply remained at a very high (but off peak-level) of 9.4 months. Median prices fell 15.1% from a year ago to $178,400. While median price is not the best metric for judging home prices (it can be easily influenced by the mix of houses), this rate of decline is roughly consistent with the Case-Schiller numbers and is not a surprise. ]]></description>
