RPM International posts record Q1 FY2027 sales and adjusted earnings

RPM International reported fiscal 2027 first‑quarter revenue of $2.22 billion, up 4.8% year‑over‑year, and adjusted EPS of $1.98, beating consensus by $0.03. Net income rose 12.6% to $256.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached a record $405.5 million. The Performance Coatings and Consumer segments drove growth, offsetting a slowdown in Construction Products, and the company reaffirmed its outlook for low‑ to mid‑single‑digit sales growth and mid‑single‑digit EBITDA growth for the full year.

The earnings beat and record sales suggest RPM’s organic growth and acquisitions are sustaining momentum, but the narrowed full‑year guidance signals tighter profit expectations amid inflation pressures. Investors should expect the stock to reflect both the strong top‑line performance and the moderated outlook.
