RPM International (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rpm#NYSE">RPM</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.84 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.76 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.64 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 4.55%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this specialty chemicals company would post earnings of $1.56 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.56, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
RPM International, which belongs to the Zacks Paints and Related Products industry, posted revenues of $1.97 billion for the quarter ended August 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.40%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.01 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
RPM International shares have added about 7.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 19.7%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for RPM International?</h2>
While RPM International has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for RPM International: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.35 on $1.82 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.49 on $7.48 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Paints and Related Products is currently in the top 7% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/shw#NYSE">SHW</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2024. The results are expected to be released on October 22.
This paint and coatings maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.55 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Sherwin-Williams&#39; revenues are expected to be $6.26 billion, up 2.3% from the year-ago quarter.

<h2>How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

<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/">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.
