RPM International posts record Q1 FY2027 sales and beats earnings estimates
RPM International reported fiscal 2027 first‑quarter revenue of $2.22 billion, up 4.8% year‑over‑year. Net income was $256.36 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.98, beating the consensus of $1.95. The Performance Coatings and Consumer segments drove growth, while the Construction Products segment saw a decline. Management raised its near‑term inflation outlook and narrowed full‑year guidance to low‑ to mid‑single‑digit sales and EBITDA growth.
Why it matters
The earnings beat and record sales suggest RPM’s cost‑control programs are offsetting inflation pressures, supporting its outlook for modest growth this year (the company narrowed guidance). Analysts note the beat could reinforce the company’s valuation narrative (simplywall.st).
