The Paint Stores Group segment registered net sales of $3,836.8 million in the third quarter, up around 5.1% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,724 million.

Net sales in the Consumer Brands Group segment declined 2.6% year over year to $770.1 million, beating the consensus estimate of $740 million. The segment's net sales decreased due to soft DIY demand in North America and Latin America. However, increased net sales in Europe partially offset the decline.
Net sales in the Performance Coatings Group went up roughly 1.7% year over year to around $1,750 million in the reported quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $1,744 million.
