Why Is RPM International Down Today?

RPM International, Inc. (NYSE: RPM) — shares are trading lower today. Investors are reacting to a mix of positive catalyst (covering/upgrade) and fresh analyst revisions from Zacks that trim some near-term forecasts while lifting parts of the medium-term outlook.

  • Positive Sentiment: Significant decline in short interest — Short interest fell ~29.7% between Sept. 15 and Sept. 30 to ~1.3M shares (≈1.0% of float) with a 1.6 days-to-cover. This reduction in short positions removes some near-term downside pressure and can support the share price.
  • Positive Sentiment: Bank of America upgrade — BofA raised RPM to "Buy", a bullish broker action that can attract fresh demand and lend support to the stock. RPM International (NYSE:RPM) Raised to "Buy" at Bank of America
  • Neutral Sentiment: Mixed Zacks estimate revisions — Zacks issued multiple updates: they raised several medium-term quarter estimates (Q4 2026, Q1 2027, Q4 2027, Q1 2028) while trimming others. The pattern suggests confidence in longer-term earnings growth but uneven near-term momentum.
  • Negative Sentiment: Near-term cuts from Zacks — Zacks reduced some upcoming-quarter forecasts (notably Q2 and Q3 2026 cuts and a small FY2028 trim), flagging weaker near-term EPS expectations that may pressure the stock. Zacks Research Cuts Earnings Estimates for RPM International

Bottom line for investors: the BofA upgrade and sharp short-covering are supportive, but Zacks' near-term earnings downgrades are a counterweight. That combination explains the mixed market reaction and the modest pullback in RPM shares today.
