Davie Colin M. Sell
Pres. & GM, Glob. Supply Chain
2,976 shares
$1,069,872
@ $359.50
Significance 5/10

SHW Pres. & GM Davie Colin M. sold 2,976 shares (3.0K) at $359.50 on 2026-02-02; holdings drop to 5,365 shares from 8,341.

Davie Colin M., President & General Manager of Global Supply Chain at Sherwin Williams, executed a discretionary sale of 2,976 shares at $359.50, reducing his holdings by approximately one-third to 5,365 shares post-transaction. The stock currently trades at $368.91, near its 52-week high of $375.23, having appreciated 11.0% over the past 30 days. His prior open-market sale at SHW (on 2025-02-27) showed a negative 90-day return of -1.6%, meaning it preceded a stock decline—a pattern repeated across his full cross-ticker track record where 100.00% of prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark. While the company's latest quarterly revenue stands at $6,358,200,000 and net income at $833,100,000, annual revenue growth has slowed to +0.2%. This sale occurs as the stock near highs and adds to a historical pattern where this insider's sales preceded price weakness.

The cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior sells with an average 90-day return of -5.5% and a 90-day well-timed rate of 100.00%, consistent with the pattern at SHW.

MORIKIS JOHN G Sell
Executive Chairman
115,969 shares
$42,275,050
@ $364.54
Significance 6/10

John G. Morikis, Executive Chairman of Sherwin Williams, executed 3 separate sales on 2024-08-30 totaling 115,969 shares for $42,275,049.61, reducing his holdings by 24.0% from 482,515 to 366,546 shares.

His prior trades at SHW—both buys on 2023-10-25—were well-timed at the 90-day mark, but that pattern cannot inform the timing of this sale without future price action.
