<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Evaluating RPM Intl P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
RPM Intl has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 167.24 of the Chemicals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747944086_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Expert Outlook: RPM Intl Through The Eyes Of 5 Analysts

Wells Fargo analyst Michael Sison maintains RPM Intl (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPM#NYSE">RPM</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $140 to $116.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on RPM Intl, Lowers Price Target to $116

RPM International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPM#NYSE">RPM</a>) reported worse-than-expected third-quarter financial results on Tuesday.
Sales declined 3% year over year to $1.48 billion, missing the consensus of $1.51 billion. Adjusted EPS was 35 cents, missing the consensus of 49 cents.
Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO said, "Unseasonably cold weather in the southern U.S. and wildfires in the west reduced demand in geographies that typically have more construction and outdoor project activity in winter months."
"As we look toward the fourth quarter, macroeconomic conditions are challenging, but we are seeing pockets of positive momentum and are leveraging our focus on repair and maintenance in both construction and consumer end markets. As demonstrated in prior economic cycles, the ability of our products and services to extend asset life becomes even more attractive to end users when budgets are tight."
For the fourth quarter, RPM expects consolidated sales to remain flat compared to prior-year records.
