RPM's Fiscal Q3 Results Come Up Short
The specialty coatings and sealants manufacturer missed fiscal 2025 Q3 expectations due largely to external challenges.
RPM International (NYSE:RPM), a leading provider of specialty coatings and sealants, faced a challenging fiscal Q3 2025, as shown by the results it released on April 8. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.35 fell $0.15 short of the anticipated $0.50. Revenue also missed, coming in at $1.48 billion against an estimated $1.51 billion. These results reflect a weak quarter impacted by unfavorable weather conditions and foreign exchange headwinds. Management also noted that the prior-year period was unusually strong for the company, resulting in a challenging comparison.
