Sherwin-Williams upgraded to Conviction Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs analyst Robert Koort upgraded Sherwin-Williams to Buy from Neutral with a $590 price target and added the shares to Goldman's Conviction List. The shares are down 20% year-to-date on concerns on concerns regarding the pace of repair and remodel activity in the United States resulting from the global spread of COVID-19 and implementation of stay-at-home orders, Koort tells investors in a research note.

As such, Koort sees a "unique long-term opportunity" with Sherwin-Williams shares at current levels
