RPM full analysis
Welcome back to MarketSnap. Here's a puzzle for you. RPM International just posted record first-quarter sales, record adjusted EBITDA, record adjusted EPS — and raised its dividend for the 53rd straight year.

Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $7.86 billion, up from $7.37 billion in 2025, representing a multi-year upward trend from $4.96 billion in 2017. Net income of $661 million in FY2026 and EPS of $5.19 reflect sustained profitability.
- Dividend King with 53 Consecutive Years of Increases: The company raised its dividend for the 53rd straight year, with a current dividend yield of 2.21% and last dividend of $2.16. This track record signals financial discipline and shareholder commitment, supported by free cash flow of $675 million in FY2026 and $538 million in FY2025.
- Strong Cash Flow Generation and Balance Sheet: Operating cash flow was $899 million in FY2026, with free cash flow of $675 million. The current ratio stands at 1.76 and quick ratio at 1.16, indicating solid short-term liquidity. ROE of 21.1% and ROIC of 11.3% demonstrate efficient capital deployment. Debt-to-equity of 0.79 remains manageable relative to equity of $3.31 billion.

Intrinsic Value Calculator
Based on current fundamentals and analyst forecasts, MarketSnap estimates RPM intrinsic value between $88.71 – $97.26 per share. This depends on revenue growth, margins, and discount rate.
This is an automatic estimate. The most reliable way to know fair value for your own assumptions is to run the calculator below.
Common questions about RPM valuation
Is RPM International Inc. (RPM) overvalued or undervalued right now?
MarketSnap estimates intrinsic value for RPM International Inc. (RPM) using its proprietary valuation methodology, which incorporates discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis together with long-term earnings and fundamentals assumptions. By comparing intrinsic value to the current market price, long-term investors can see whether the stock screens as potentially overvalued, fairly valued, or undervalued today.
Is RPM a buy, hold, or sell for long-term investors?
MarketSnap does not give one-word “buy” or “sell” calls. Instead, it shows whether RPM trades at a premium or discount to its estimated intrinsic value, how sensitive that value is to growth and margin assumptions, and how the stock fits into a diversified, long-term portfolio so investors can make their own buy, hold, or sell decision.
What is RPM’s P/E ratio?
You can see RPM’s trailing P/E (TTM) and forward P/E estimates in the Current Key Metrics and Forward P/E Ratios sections above. The P/E ratio compares the current share price to earnings per share and helps investors gauge valuation relative to earnings.
How is intrinsic value calculated for RPM?
MarketSnap uses its own valuation framework—not a generic spreadsheet DCF alone. Future cash flows and earnings are projected, discounted, and combined with MarketSnap’s methodology so intrinsic value reflects fundamentals and long-term assumptions. You can run your own inputs and see the result using the Intrinsic Value Calculator above.
Is RPM a good long-term investment?
Whether RPM fits a long-term portfolio depends on your assumptions about growth, margins, and risk. MarketSnap provides the metrics, intrinsic value calculator, and SWOT context so you can form your own view rather than rely on a single buy/sell rating.
