KeyBanc reinstates coverage on Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) with a Hold.

KeyBanc analyst says, "SHW is high quality operator with a dominant market position in the North American architectural paint market. That said, we believe that North American architectural markets are set to remain sluggish through 2012, with new construction as well as housing turnover staying fairly depressed. Additionally, along with the rest of the paints and coatings industry, SHW still battles inflating raw material costs, particularly from TiO2. Still, the Company persists in its plans for expansion, through both growing store count and acquisitions primarily in its global businesses."
