Sherwin-Williams Co's fixed asset turnover ratio has shown fluctuations over the years. In general, the fixed asset turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company is using its fixed assets to generate sales.

From March 31, 2020, to December 31, 2021, the company's fixed asset turnover ratio showed a consistently high value, ranging from 9.84 to 10.64. This indicated that Sherwin-Williams Co was effectively utilizing its fixed assets to generate revenue during this period.

However, from March 31, 2022, to September 30, 2023, there was a notable decrease in the fixed asset turnover ratio, dropping to as low as 5.17. This decline may suggest a potential inefficiency in utilizing the company's fixed assets to generate sales during this period.

Moreover, the fixed asset turnover ratio was not reported for the final quarters of 2023 and for the entirety of 2024, which makes an assessment of recent trends challenging.
