Same audited fundamentals as the score, unless a card says otherwise.
Analyst estimate revisions
| 30-day change | -2.1% |
|---|---|
| 90-day change | -2.8% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $6.62 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect RPM to earn is drifting lower (-2.8%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

RPM International Inc. (RPM): score, valuation & FAQ
RPM International Inc. (RPM) is a Specialty Chemicals company that scores 58.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
On valuation, RPM sits about 17% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 9% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.
Is RPM a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores RPM 58.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. A score is a quantitative screen of RPM International Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does RPM score 58.2 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 73.7 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. RPM grades middle-of-pack across the graded signals. Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so RPM is measured against Specialty Chemicals peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is RPM overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $97.73, RPM sits about 17% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 9% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at an 18.4x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in RPM?
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
