RPM International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPM#NYSE">RPM</a>) shares are trading lower after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42839743/rpm-reports-record-fiscal-2025-second-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported second-quarter results</a>.
Sales increased 3% year over year to $1.845 billion, beating the consensus of $1.789 billion. Sales growth was driven by higher volumes across segments and strong performance in technical solutions.
Geographically, sales growth was strong in North America, mixed elsewhere, with Europe improving profitability, while Latin America and Asia declined.
Adjusted EPS was $1.39, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of $1.34.</a>
Adjusted EBIT rose 7.7% to $255.08 million, driven by MAP 2025 initiatives, sales growth, and SG&amp;A streamlining, partially offset by an unfavorable mix and a $4.4 million bad debt expense.
For the six months ended November 30, 2024, operating cash flow was $527.5 million, supported by profitability and MAP 2025-driven efficiency. However, due to a smaller working capital release, it was down from $767.8 million last year.
Total debt decreased to $2.03 billion from $2.25 billion, driven by cash flow used to repay higher-cost debt. Liquidity remained steady at $1.50 billion.
Capital expenditures rose to $100.7 million, driven by new facilities in Belgium and India. The company returned $159.5 million to stockholders via dividends and buybacks.

&#8220;We remain focused on things within our control in a mixed economic environment. These include leveraging our competitive strengths to outgrow our markets and implementing MAP 2025 initiatives,&#8221; commented Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO.
&#8220;So far in the third quarter, the progress we are making in these areas is being offset by end market pressure caused by winter weather that is meaningfully harsher than the prior year. Overall, we anticipate sales and adjusted EBIT will be similar to the prior year in what is our seasonally slowest quarter,&#8221; added Sullivan.
Outlook: For the third quarter, RPM expects consolidated sales to remain flat compared to prior-year records, with CPG sales increasing slightly, PCG sales flat to slightly higher, and SPG and Consumer Group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">sales declining modestly.</a>
The company sees Adjusted EBIT fluctuate within a low-single-digit range compared to last year&#8217;s results.
For FY25, the company expects consolidated sales to grow in the low-single-digit range, unchanged from prior guidance, and adjusted EBIT to rise 6% to 10%, narrowing the previous mid-single-digit to low-double-digit outlook.

<h3>RPM Intl P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 53.79 in the Chemicals industry, RPM Intl Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 25.8. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1735828208_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: RPM Intl

Analysts expect RPM International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPM#NYSE">RPM</a>) to report second-quarter earnings at $1.34 per share before the opening bell, on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025. That&#8217;s up from $1.22 per share in the year-ago period. 
The Medina, Ohio-based company projects quarterly revenue of $1.79 billion, compared to $1.79 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. On Oct. 2, RPM International reported first-quarter results. Sales declined 2.1% Y/Y to $1.97 billion, missing the consensus of $2.015 billion.
With the recent buzz around RPM International, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from its dividends. The company currently offers an annual dividend yield of 1.63%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 51 cents per share ($2.04 a year).
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $368,860 or around 2,941 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $73,747 or around 588 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($2.04 in this case). So, $6,000 / $2.04 = 2,941 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $2.04 = 588 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
RPM Price Action: Shares of RPM fell 0.6% to close at $125.42 on Thursday.
