(Reuters) - Sherwin-Williams raised its annual profit forecast on Tuesday after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results, as price hikes helped offset lower sales volumes across its businesses, sending its shares up 2% in premarket trading. Paints and coatings makers have been able to offset the impact of slower-than-expected recovery of key end markets by raising prices of their products. Chemical makers had flagged a potential blow in the second half of the year from a slower-than-expected recovery in China following its post-pandemic reopening and lower demand in Europe. The company raised its forecast, and now expects full-year adjusted income between $10.10 and $10.30 per share, compared to prior forecast of $9.30 to $9.70 per share. However, Morikis warned that "our fourth quarter is a seasonally smaller one, and we continue to expect choppiness by region and end market."
