The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE:SHW) runs one of the largest networks of company-owned specialty paint stores in North America. Its offerings include architectural paints, industrial coatings, and specialty resins. In recent years, the company has focused on several key strategies, such as broadening its distribution network, investing in new product development, managing raw material and logistics expenses, strengthening its workforce, and ensuring adherence to environmental regulations. The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE:SHW) recently reported earnings for the second quarter of 2025. The company posted revenue of $6.3 billion, up 1% from the same period last year. The revenue also beat analysts' estimates by $20.33 million. Management noted that consolidated sales fell within the expected range, while the company achieved gross margin expansion for the twelfth straight quarter. However, due to weaker demand during the period— a trend that is likely to persist or even worsen in the latter half of the year— the company significantly ramped up its restructuring efforts. These actions led to pre-tax expenses totaling $59 million. The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE:SHW) has been rewarding investors with growing dividends for the past 46 years, which makes it one of the best dividend stocks from the materials sector. The company offers a quarterly dividend of $0.79 per share and has a dividend yield of 0.95%, as of July 29. While we acknowledge the potential of SHW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Trump hikes tariffs on Canada to 35%, announces new rates from 15% to 40% for dozens of countries
The White House took a step forward with President Trump's plan to remake the trade landscape by releasing new details Thursday evening that included a raft of new tariff rates now formally authorized by executive order, which set new levels from 15% to 40% on over 70 countries. The move represents a giant shakeup in the US's trade order, with outlined rates that range from a 35% tariff on Canada (up from 25%) to rates above 30% on nations from Algeria to Switzerland. But there's a last minute catch, as these new rates will not go into effect for seven days, instead of a midnight Friday deadline as originally planned — according to the text of the order. "These modifications shall be effective ... on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 7 days after the date of this order," reads the now signed order. India, after initial high hopes for a deal that have bogged down in recent weeks, is set to face a 25% rate but now appears to have another week to negotiate. Taiwan is another top US trading partner and is set to see a 20% rate. The White House documentation released Thursday also confirmed some of the parameters of recent deals including 19%-20% rates on a range of Southeast Asian nations and an unchanged 10% rate on the United Kingdom. Dozens of other nations also saw their tariff rates upped to 15% from 10% — in line with deals sketched out in recent days that included that headline 15% tariff rate on Europe, South Korea, and Japan. But some nations were not included in Tuesday's release — those omitted included many nations with which the US currently has a trade surplus — who therefore are set to see their rates remain at 10%, in a surprise relief for some after comments from Trump in recent days suggested 15% would be his new minimum. Thursday's announcement comes as previously announced 50% levies on copper are also set to go into effect at midnight tonight. The White House also has plans for 50% tariffs on Brazil which are set to be in fully in effect in a few days. Thursday's advancement did come after one significant delay, with a 90-day pause on new tariffs on Mexico, as the president decided to keep rates there at 25% after a 'very successful' meeting. The rapid-fire tariff moves also came as small business importers and the US Justice Department clashed Thursday over whether President Trump even has the authority to take these actions. Trump's team says the 1977 International Economic Emergency Powers Act authorizes the president to 'regulate' international commerce after declaring a national emergency. It's also the latest culmination of Trump's intense second term focus on tariffs. He declared "I am a tariff man" back in 2018 but has gone far further in his second term. The latest calculations from the Yale Budget Lab found that these new duties, before Thursday's tweaks, suggested consumers already face an overall effective tariff rate of 18.4%, which is the highest rate since 1933. That figure is sure to rise in the coming days as the new tariff levels are digested. The duties — as Trump himself notes almost every day — have also already set multiple new tariff revenues records even at the previous levels centered around a 10% floor for tariffs. As Trump put it on Thursday 'Tariffs are making America GREAT & RICH Again' adding that lower levels seen in previous decades were hurting America and 'now the tide has completely turned.'

Trump hikes tariffs on Canada to 35%, announces rates from 10% to 40% for dozens of countries
The White House took a step forward with President Trump's plan to remake the trade landscape by releasing new details Thursday evening that included a raft of new tariff rates now formally authorized by executive order, which set levels from 10% to 40% on nearly every global trading partner. The move represents a giant shakeup in the US's trade order, with outlined rates that range from a 35% tariff on Canada (up from 25% currently) to rates above 30% on nations from South Africa to Switzerland. But there's a last minute catch, as nearly all these new rates (except for Canada's) will not go into effect for seven days, instead of a midnight Friday deadline Trump had previously said. "These modifications shall be effective ... on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 7 days after the date of this order," reads the now signed order. The new tariff rate on Canada is under a different order focused on illicit drugs and and will take effect Friday, as originally planned. The order also allows for an additional delay, with lower, previous rates applied to goods that are loaded onto ships before Aug. 7 that then enter the United States before Oct. 5. But once the new tariffs are in effect, they will be far-reaching. India, after initial high hopes for a deal that have bogged down in recent weeks, is set to face a 25% rate though negotiators there now appears to have another week to make offers. Taiwan is another top US trading partner and is set to see a 20% rate. The White House documentation released Thursday also confirmed some of the parameters of recent deals including 19%-20% rates on a range of Southeast Asian nations and an unchanged 10% rate on the United Kingdom. Dozens of other nations also saw their tariff rates upped to 15% from 10% — in line with deals sketched out in recent days that included that headline 15% tariff rate on the European Union, South Korea, and Japan. The order states that some countries are on the verge of a deal but others have made insufficient offers "to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national security matters" and will therefore be subject to the higher rates. But some nations were not included in Tuesday's release — those omitted included many nations with which the US currently has a trade surplus — who are set to see their rates remain at 10%, in a surprise relief for some after comments from Trump in recent days suggested 15% would be his new minimum. Thursday's order also includes a focus on the growing issue of transhipping, promising an additional tariff of 40 percent for any goods deemed 'to have been transshipped to evade applicable duties' without providing a further definition. Thursday's announcement comes as previously announced 50% levies on copper are also set to go into effect at midnight Friday. The White House also has plans for 50% tariffs on Brazil which are set to be in fully in effect in a few days.
