Discounted Cash Flow
RPM International Inc.
—
Sales growth has weakened: 9.8% (2022) → 8.2% (2023) → 1.1% (2024) → 0.5% (2025). Revenue growth has been decelerating or declining in recent years and is now 0.5% — a slowing company may not sustain the growth the DCF projects, so the valuation could be overstated.
